STATE  OF  NEW  YORK 

DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY 

Albany,  March  16,  1914. 
Hon.  MARTIN  H.  GLYNN, 

Governor  of  the  State  of  New  York: 

Sir. — Herewith  is  presented  the  recommendations  of  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and 
Economy  for  the  complete  budget  of  the  State  of  New  York,  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  Octo- 
ber 1,  191 4,  which  has  been  prepared  in  conformity  with  the  suggestions  contained  in  your 
message  to  the  Legislature,  January  7,  1914,  on  the  subject  of  State  Finances. 

All  appropriations  are  presented  in  the  itemized  form  suggested  by  you,  and  all  departmental 
estimates  of  appropriations  desired  have  been  reduced  to  a  point  within  the  total  revenues  esti- 
mated to  be  available,  for  the  next  fiscal  year. 

The  following  paragraphs  from  your  message  have  been  the  guiding  rules  for  the  investi- 
gators of  this  department,  namely: 

"  This  Legislature  faces  requests  for  appropriations  amounting  approximately  to 
$63,000,000.  Our  receipts  for  the  coming  year  from  indirect  sources  are  estimated  at 
$41,000,000. 

"  We  cannot  materially  increase  our  receipts;  we  must  decrease  our  expenditures. 
To  meet  the  difference  between  our  income  and  the  expenditures  requested  would  mean  the 
imposition  of  a  direct  tax  of  two  and  one-fourth  mills  upon  the  taxpayers  of  the  State. 
The  exactions  of  local  taxation  are  already  so  burdensome  in  our  various  municipalities 
that  such  a  tax  would  be  a  hardship  upon  our  people. 

"  This  burden  must  be  avoided  by  a  curtailment  in  the  State's  expenses,  by  the  refusal 
to  grant  a  single  unnecessary  dollar  for  any  public  purpose,  and  by  a  determination  to  see 
that  the  State  gets  a  dollar's  worth  of  service  or  a  dollar's  worth  of  material  for  every  dollar 
expended. 

"  A  general  policy  of  economy  must  be  observed  on  every  hand. 

"  No  appropriation  should  be  made  which  does  not  benefit  the  State  as  a  whole.  But, 
State- wide  movements  must,  of  course,  have  local  beginnings. 

"  No  State  subsidies  should  be  provided  for  purely  local  purposes  or  purely  local  insti- 
tutions. 

"  No  new  activities  or  new  functions  involving  appropriations,  unless  positively 
demanded  by  public  welfare,  should  be  undertaken  by  the  State  until  such  time  as  an  ample 
surplus  has  been  accumulated  in  the  State  Treasury. 

"  No  increase  in  expenditures  should  be  sanctioned  except  for  the  purpose  of  securing 
greater  revenues,  compelling  greater  economy,  conserving  our  natural  resources  or  meeting 
some  extraordinary  public  emergency. 

"  No  appropriations  for  the  maintenance  of  departments  and  institutions  should  be 
made  upon  guesswork.     They  should  be  based  upon  actual  figures  and  actual  needs. 

"  All  appropriations  should  be  for  specific  purposes  and  specified  amounts. 

' '  Every  appropriation  should  be  minutely  itemized  so  that  not  a  dollar  can  be  diverted 
from  its  lawful  purpose. 

"  Above  all,  appropriations  must  first  be  made  for  necessities.  When  necessities  have 
been  properly  provided  for,  it  will  be  time  to  consider  whether  there  is  any  money  left  to 
spend  upon  luxuries. 

u  All  grants  of  money  should  be  contained  in  one  appropriation  bill.  Under  the  budget 
system  this  should  be  easily  effected.  Those  receiving  appropriations  from  the  State  have 
more  and  more  each  year  ignored  the  plain  purpose  of  the  appropriation  to  provide  funds 
for  a  single  fiscal  year,  and  have  created  obligations  in  excess  of  the  amount  appropriated, 
so  that  the  Supply  Bill,  carrying  such  items,  has  increased  from  $3,809,925.60  in  1907  to 
$5,709,331.66  in  1913.  The  Supply  Bill  is  the  State's  pork-barrel  bill.  As  an  invitation 
to  extravagance,  it  should  be  abolished.

6673^1 


The  Appropriation  Bill  passed  by  the  Assembly  on  Thursday,  March  12,  1914,  after  a 
discussion  of  less  than  two  hours,  requires  complete  revision.  It  is  impossible  to  believe  that 
it  was  sincerely  expected  to  provide  adequately  for  the  fiscal  needs  of  the  State. 

It  is  well  known  that  the  studied  and  deliberate  purpose  of  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee 
of  the  Assembly  was  to  hamper  and  paralyze  certain  divisions  of  the  State  government  which 
are  highly  necessary,  solely  because  those  in  charge  of  these  divisions  are  not  members  of  the 
political  party  that  controls  the  majority  in  the  Assembly.  Co-incident  with  the  passage  of 
the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  bill,  the  chairman  of  the  committee  caused  to  be  given  to  the 
press  bureaus  a  statement  that  the  bill  was  some  $3,200,000  lower  than  the  amount  recommended 
by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy.     There  was  no  foundation  for  that  statement. 

No  bill  has  been  recommended  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy. 

This  Department  was  given  no  opportunity  to  submit  to  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee 
the  information  it  had  collected,  at  the  expense  of  weeks  of  labor  and  a  considerable  sum  of  money. 
The  nearest  approach  to  a  consultation  was  when  the  Commissioner  called  the  attention  of  the 
chairman  of  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  to  the  numerous  errors  in  the  first  draft  of  the 
bill.  The  chairman  professed  to  be  grateful  for  the  information.  He  thereupon  sent  his  clerks 
to  the  office  of  the  Department  and  there  the  bill  was  revised  as  to  language,  but  no  figures  or 
amounts  were  changed.  The  corrected  items  did  not  contain  recommendations  of  the  Depart- 
ment concerning  any  items  in  the  bill. 

In  a  letter  sent  to  the  chairman  and  other  members  of  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee 
the  information  was  given  that  this  Department  had  collected  much  data  and  material  regarding 
the  requests  for  appropriations,  and  that  this  was  at  the  disposal  of  the  members  of  the  Assembly. 
This  information  was  ignored,  and  the  Assembly  committee  prepared  its  bill  without  any 
apparent  consideration  of  the  needs  of  the  various  departments  and  institutions. 

In  the  budget  hereby  submitted  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy,  no  useful 
activity  of  the  State  government  has  been  disregarded.  There  is  no  partisanship  in  the  recom- 
mendations. Every  item  of  reduction  will  bear  honest  scrutiny  and  the  recommendations 
stand  upon  their  own  merits. 

The  material  in  this  report  was  prepared  in  time  to  have  been  submitted  to  the  Legislature 
at  the  beginning  of  the  session,  and  if  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  had  desired  to  co-operate 
with  the  agency  created  by  the  Legislature,  a  scientific  bill  could  have  been  introduced  and  passed 
during  the  first  month  of  the  life  of  the  present  Legislature. 

This  report  is  now  transmitted  to  you  in  the  belief  that  the  work  of  this  Department  during 
the  months  of  November  and  December  will  be  of  value  in  the  final  consideration  of  the  matter 
of  appropriations. 

The  items  of  appropriations  that  are  recommended  in  this  report  have  been  determined 
as  a  result  of  a  careful  examination  of  the  requests  for  appropriations  filed  by  the  administrative 
officers  of  the  several  departments  and  institutions  of  the  State.  Conferences  were  held  with 
all  of  these  officers,  and  examiners  and  accountants  prepared  an  analysis  in  which  every  item 
was  presented  in  comparison  with  the  amounts  appropriated  last  year.  This  method  brought 
into  bold  relief  every  new  position,  every  increase  of  salary,  and  every  proposed  addition  to 
miscellaneous  expense.  This  analysis  was  before  the  Board  of  Estimate  at  its  hearings,  and 
was  published  and  delivered  to  the  Legislature  in  January. 

The  report  now  presented  contains  a  completely  segregated  form  of  Appropriation  Bill, 
which  is  a  radical  departure  from  the  unitemized  method  heretofore  in  vogue,  and  again  adopted 
this  year  by  the  Assembly.     Every  position  concealed  in  the  various  "  grades  "  described  in 

[iv] 


former  appropriation  bills  is  here  stated  under  its  departmental  title.  Every  large  item  of  mis- 
cellaneous expense  is  subdivided  into  smaller  units,  and  deceptive  language  which  permitted 
the  establishment  of  new  positions  by  authority  of  items  entitled  "  office  expenses  "  has  been 
eliminated. 

As  a  result  of  the  knowledge  gained  by  this  examination  of  departmental  methods,  nearly 
every  estimate  submitted  has  been  completely  revised  and  materially  reduced. 

In  some  items,  the  amounts  recommended  this  year  are  higher  than  the  appropriations 
of  last  year.  In  some  instances  this  is  due  to  the  fact  that  some  departments  had  large  unex- 
pended balances  which  were  applied  last  year  and  are  now  exhausted.  In  other  instances  the 
increase  is  compulsory  on  account  of  greater  demands  upon  the  departnemt.  As  an  illustration 
may  be  cited  the  State  hospitals  for  the  insane,  in  which  must  be  provided  maintenance  for 
more  than  one  thousand  additional  inmates.  All  recommendations  are  based  upon  actual 
needs,  and  all  are  based  upon  actual  information  carefully  considered. 

The  total  amount  of  requests  for  appropriations  received  from  the  various  departments, 
institutions,  bureaus  and  offices  of  the  State  for  the  fiscal  year  19 14- 191 5,  as  amended  to  date, 
is  as  follows: 

Appropriation  Bill $35 ,  129, 713 . 32 

Supply  Bill 4,643,657.78 

Total. $39,773,371  •  10 

The  total  amounts  recommended  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  are  as 
follows : 

Appropriation  Bill $32,252,619.69 

Supply  Bill 1 ,  602 ,  060 .  58 

Total $33,854,680.27 

The  reduction  recommended  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  amounts  to 
$5,918,690.83. 

Every  item  that  is  a  matter  of  yearly  appropriation  has  been  included  in  the  Appropriation 
Bill. 

The  Supply  Bill  is  composed  of  only  such  items  as  are  necessary  to  supply  deficiencies  in 
former  appropriations,  or  are  required  for  immediate  expenditure  by  the  departments.  Two- 
thirds  of  the  total  amount  of  the  Supply  Bill  recommended  is  contained  in  five  items,  viz.: 
County  fairs,  State  Fair,  Hospital  deficiencies,  Legislative  contingent  fund  and  penitentiaries. 
The  five  items  aggregate  $1,010,000.     There  are  no  "  pork  barrel  "  items  included. 

Those  who  discuss  State  appropriations  commonly  overlook  the  fact  that  the  items  for 
the  support  of  State  departments  do  not  constitute  nearly  all  the  compulsory  appropriations. 
The  Appropriation  Bill  and  Supply  Bill  cannot  be  considered  a  State  budget.  In  addition  thereto 
must  be  provided  funds  for  the  upkeep  and  renewal  of  State  buildings  and  other  property,  for 
the  maintenance  of  highways,  for  the  payment  of  legal  obligations,  for  grade  crossing  elimina- 
tions, and  for  principal  and  interest  of  the  sinking  funds. 

In  addition  to  the  Appropriation  and  Supply  Bills,  therefore,  this  department  has  examined 
the  requests  submitted  for  all  of  these  purposes,  and  includes  in  its  recommendations  what  it 
considers  the  most  necessary  items  to  provide  this  year. 

The  boundary  line  of  expenditure  to  be  kept  in  view  is  the  total  sum  of  the  prospective 
revenue  from  indirect  taxation,  and  the  fact  that  this  is  estimated  at  approximately  forty-two 
million  dollars  has  controlled  the  determinations  made. 

The  total  sum  of  the  recommendations  made  herein  is  more  than  thirteen  millions  less  than 
the  aggregate  appropriations  requested.     Therefore  it  is  obvious  that  agreement  in  the  selection 

M 


of  particular  improvements  to  be  made  this  year  cannot  be  expected  from  those  whose  applica- 
tions are  omitted  or  curtailed.     Careful  consideration  has  been  given  to  each  item,  however, 
and  the  result  represents  the  best  judgment  of  the  department. 
A  summary  of  the  items  in  the  complete  budget  is  as  follows: 

Appropriation  Bill $32 ,  252 ,  619  69 

Supply  Bill 1 ,602 ,060  58 

Total $33,854,680  27

In  the  preparation  of  this  report  a  large  amount  of  detailed  information  has  been  gathered 
by  this  Department.  The  tables,  statistics,  and  other  material  are  at  your  disposal  and  that 
of  the  Legislature  in  its  work  on  the  appropriations. 

The  explanations  made  by  the  various  departments,  bureaus,  institutions  and  offices  of 
the  State  in  connection  with  their  requests  for  appropriations  have  been  included  in  this 
report,  and  are  given  in  the  column  under  the  requests  at  the  end  of  each  division.  The  reasons 
for  the  recommendations  of  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  are  also  given,  in  the 
briefest  possible  manner,  in  the  column  under  the  form  and  amounts  recommended,  and  opposite 
the  explanation  given  by  those  making  the  requests. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

JOHN  H.  DELANEY, 

Commissioner  of  Efficiency  and  Economy.

This  is  necessary  on  account  by  the  ever  increasing  number  of  automobiles 
which  secure  licenses  and  for  which  number  plates  and  certificates  must  be

Providing  for  increasing  salaries  of  several  employees.  Net  increase 
amounts  to  $3,440.  These  increases  are  for  salaries  of  civil 
service  employees  who,  on  account  of  faithfulness  and  efficiency 
and  by  a  comparison  of  salaries  paid  in  other  departments  of 
the  state  for  similar  work,  are  entitled  to  such  increases.  It  is 
found  necessary  for  the  good  of  the  department  that  heed  be  given 
to  fair  requests  for  increases  in  salary  made  by  competent  workers. 


15  TEMPORARY  SERVICES. 

The  amount  expended  for  temporary  services  during  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1913,  was  $2,210.24.  The  employees  in- 
clude stenographers,  copyists  and  two  laborers.  The  temporary 
periods  were  from  one  to  four  months.  This  office  was  required 
last  year  to  copy  16,000  certificates  of  incorporation  filed  and 
10,000  certified  copies  of  incorporation  papers.  In  addition 
thereto  there  is  extra  work  in  connection  with  the  election  law 
prior  to  election,  and  the  burden  of  issuing  invitations,  etc.,  for 
the  inaugural  ceremony  is  also  borne  by  this  office. 

16  ELECTION  LAWS. 

Only  $20,000  was  asked  for  in  1913  for  the  reason  that  there  was 
an  unexpended  balance  from  chapter  546,  laws  of  1912.  Amount 
expended  for  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1912,  was  $24,585.08, 
and  the  sum  of  $24,796.81  has  been  expended  for  the  present  fiscal 
year  beginning  October  1,  1913.     Appropriation  is  now  exhausted. 

18     OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

Only  $5,000  was  asked  for  in  1913  for  the  reason  that  there  was  a 
large  unexpended  balance  from  former  appropriations.  Amount 
expended  for  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1912,  was  $8,949.87. 


19     POSTAGE  AND  TRANSPORTATION. 

The  amount  expended  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913, 
was  $4,702.97,  for  transportation  of  session  laws,  election  laws 
and  blanks,  and  legislative  documents  sent  out  in  accordance 
with  provisions  of  sections  24  of  the  executive  law,  549  of  the 
election  law,  320  of  the  election  law  and  49  of  the  legislative  law. 

MOTOR  VEHICLE  BUREAU. 

23     A  new  position  —  that  of   law  examiner  —  is  needed   in  the  auto- 
mobile bureau. 

Owing  to  the  rapidly  increasing  amount  of  work,  the  involved 
propositions  of  law  to  be  dealt  with,  together  with  the  ever 
necessary  modifications  of  law  to  meet  new  and  growing  questions 
arising  with  reference  to  the  automobile  bureau,  it  is  necessary  to 
secure  the  services  of  a  law  examiner,  whose  qualifications  more 
than  others  must  be  that  he  has  been  duly  admitted  to  practice 
law  in  the  state  of  New  York. 

24,  26,  27,  28,  29,  30 

Provides  for  increasing  salaries  of  several  employees.    The  net  in- 
crease amounts  to  $3,750,  to  be  distributed  among  128  employees. 


33     OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

No  appropriation  was  asked  for  under  chapter  792,  laws  of  1913, 
as  there  was  a  large  unexpended  balance  on  hand.  The  amount 
expended  for  office  expenses  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October 
1.  1912,  was  $27,496.27.  The  balance  of  appropriation  under 
chapter  546,  laws  of  1912.  will  hardly  bo  enough  to  carry  us  along 
for  the  present  fiscal  year,   therefore   a   deficiency   is  asked  for. 


8,  9,  10,  11,  12,  13,  14 

All  requests  for  increases  in  amounts  now  allowed  for  grades  should 
be  denied.  Salaries  of  employees  should  be  increased  only  by  pro- 
motion from  lower  grades  to  higher  as  va-ewncies  occwr  in  the 
higher,  and  this  is  now  within  the  power  of  the  administrative 
officer.  The  salaries  paid  to  women  stenographers  in  the  lowest 
civil  service  grade  in  this  department  is  $11.50  per  week,  which  is 
more  than  the  average  amount  paid  by  private  business  concerns 
to  employees  doing  similar  work,  and  from  this  point  of  beginning 
the  salaries  range  up  to  $25  per  week.  There  is  no  evidence  that 
competition  of  private  business  is  causing  efficient  state  employees 
to  abandon  state  employment. 

15     TEMPORARY  SERVICES. 

The  regular  staff  of  the  secretary  of  state's  office  is  employed  to 
perform  precisely  the  duties  described  in  the  explanation  of  this 
request.  If  such  duties  did  not  exist  there  would  be  no  occasion 
for  permanent  employees.  It  is  recommended  that  the  request  be 
denied. 


16     ELECTION  LAWS. 

It  appears  that  the  increased  amount  requested  must  be  allowed. 
Reduction  last  year  was  caused  by  utilizing  an  unexpended 
balance.

OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

The  actual  amount  expended  for  fiscal  year  ending  September  30, 
1913,  was  $7,950.62,  made  up  as  follows: 

Printing  and  binding $2, 999  71 

Stationery  and  typewriter  supplies 581  44 

Office  furniture  and  equipment 1,  766  17 

Telegraph,  telephone  and  messenger  service 1,203  68 

Transportation 230  30 

Miscellaneous 1,  024  55 

Traveling  expenses   144  77 

$7,950  62 


The  fact  that  there  was  available  in  this  fund  the  sum  of 
$1,766.17  for  office  furniture,  and  $144.77  for  traveling  expenses, 
indicates  that  more  than  sufficient  for  actual  and  necessary  office 
expenses  was  provided  by  the  former  legislature.  The  sum  of 
$7,000  appears  to  be  ample  to  provide  for  all  legitimate  office 
expenses. 

19     POSTAGE  AND  TRANSPORTATION. 

The  amount  requested  this  year  is  not  an  increase  over  that  appro- 
priated in  1913,  and  appears  to  be  required. 


MOTOR  VEHICLE  BUREAU. 

23  Application  for  new  position  should  be  denied.  The  position  of  law 
examiner  exists  in  the  civil  service  grade  and  if  special  knowledge 
of  this  kind  is  required  one  of  the  other  employees  should  be  dis- 
pensed with  so  as  to  permit  the  substitution  of  an  employee  having 
the  special  qualification,  without  increasing  the  amount  of  the 
appropriation. 


24,  26,  27,  28,  29,  30 

All  requests  for  increases  in  amounts  now  allowed  for  grades  should 
be  denied  and  salaries  of  employees  increased  only  by  promotion 
from  lower  grades  to  higher  as  vacancies  occur.  The  increases 
instead  of  being  distributed  between  128  employees  are  given  to 
very  few. 

33     OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

This  item  affords  a  striking  example  of  the  possibe  manipulation  of 
lump  sum  appropriations.  On  October  1,  1912,  there  was  an  un- 
expended balance  available  for  office  expenses  amounting  to  $45,- 
674.68.  During  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30, 1913,  there  was 
expended  from  this  amount  $27,496.27.  and  there  remained  at  the 
beginning  of  the  current  fiscal  year  $18,178.41,  which,  it  is  stated

COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 


This  appropriation  like  all  others  under  the  motor  vehicle  bureau 
covers  expenses  for  Albany,  New  York  and  Buffalo  offices. 


NUMBER  PLATES. 

The  amount  expended  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1912, 
was  $56,058.25.  Under  chapter  792,  laws  of  1913,  there  is  an 
appropriation  of  $50,000.  A  deficiency  item  is  therefore  requested 
to  pay  for  plates  during  the  present  fiscal  year.  For  the  fiscal 
year  beginning  October  1,  1914,  this  amount  will  have  to  be 
increased  considerably  according  to  the  increase  in  the  number 
of  registrations.  These  plates  are  something  which  must  be  fur- 
nished to  parties  making  application  for  the  same.  If  they  do 
not  secure  them  from  us  on  making  application  they  are  subject 
to  criminal  prosecution.  Therefore,  ample  provision  should  be 
made  as  it  is  almost  impossible  to  anticipate  what  the  increase 
will  be  in  registrations  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1, 
1914,  and  ending  September  30,  1915. 


CHAUFFEURS'  BADGES. 

Only  $4,000  was  asked  for  under  chapter  792,  laws  of  1913,  because 
we  had  on  hand  a  large  unexpended  balance  from  former  appro- 
priations. It  is  impossible  to  anticipate  the  registrations  of 
chauffeurs  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914.

Appropriation   requested,  $15,000  00 

Amount  appropriated  in  1913,  8,000  00 

The  sum  expended  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  Septem- 
ber 30,  1913,  was  $11,837.62.  The  amount  available  for  the  pres- 
ent fiscal  year,  including  the  balance  from  former  appropriations 
and  the  amount  appropriated  in  1913,  is  $12,971.19. 

38  TRANSPORTATION. 

Appropriation  requested,  $24,000  00 

Amount  appropriated  in   1913,  13,000  00 

It   is  estimated   that   at   least  200,000   number   plates  will   be 

issued.     Provision  must  l>c  made  for  the  delivery  of  at  leusl  70 


in  the  explanation,  "  will  hardly  be  enough  to  carry  us  along  for 

the  present  fiscal  year;  therefore  a  deficiency  is  asked  for."     The 
expenditure  of  $27,496.27  was  made  up  as  fo'llows: 

Printing    and    binding $9,  079  50 

Stationery  and  typewriter  supplies 2,  080  42 

Office  furniture  and  equipment 14  88ft  20 

Incidental  office  expenses j  447  15 

$27,496  27 

Excluding  the  cost  of  the  new  office  furniture  and  equipment 
purchased,  the  actual  office  expenses  were  $12,607.07.  Therefore 
it  appears  that  the  unexpended  balance  of  $18,178.41  available  at 
the  beginning  of  the  present  current  year,  if  disbursed  solely  for 
proper  office  expenses,  should  be  sufficient  and  there  should  be 
remaining  an  unexpended  Iialance  of  approximately  $5,000  at  the 
beginning  of  the  next  fiscal  year.  An  appropriation  this  year  of 
$7,000,  in  addition  to  this  $5,000  of  surplus  now  in  hand  will  be 
ample  to  provide  for  the  necessities  of  the  fiscal  year  beginning 
October  1,  1914.

Appropriation  requested    $75,  000  00

The  law  requires  that  a  set  of  number  plates  be  furnished  to 
every  person  taking  an  automobile  license.  The  number  of  cars 
registered  is  increasing  every  year. 

In   1912  the  number  of  cars   registered   was 107,  466 

In  1913  the  number  of  registrations  was 134,  40.5 

In  1914  the  number  of  plates  contracted  for  is 150,000 

The  contract  price  for  each  set  of  plates  is  29  cents.  Therefore, 
the  total  expenditure,  if  the  entire  amount  of  the  contract  of 
150,000  plates  is  taken,  will  be  $43,500.  Thus  it  appears  that  a 
$50,000  appropriation  will  be  ample  to  provide  sufficient  number 
of  plates  for  the  current  fiscal  year,  and  that  the  additional  amount 
of  $10,000  requested  in  the  supply  bill  may  be  disallowed. 

Estimating  that  175,000  plates  may  be  required  for  the  next 
fiscal  year,  and  that  the  contract  price  be  30  cents,  there  will  be 
required  the  sum  of  $52,500.  In  addition  to  the  original  plates, 
duplicates  and  dealers  sets  are  required,  and  $7,500  will  be  ample 
to  supply  these. 

Therefore  a  total  appropriation  of  $60,000  for  number  plates 
for  the  next  year  appears  to  be  sufficient.

37 


On  October  1,  1912,  there  was  in  this  fund  an  unexpended  bal- 
ance of  $5,453.28.  The  expenditures  during  the  fiscal  vear  which 
closed  September  30.  1913,  were  $3,485.81.  Therefore,  in  addition 
to  the  amount  of  $4,000  appropriated  last  year,  there  was  an 
unexpended  balance  of  $1,967.47,  which  provides  a  sum  for  the 
current  fiscal  year  of  $4,967.47. 

Approximately  00,000  chauffeurs  were  registered  during  the  year 
which  closed  January  30,  1914.  The  badges  to  be  furnished  these 
men  cost  $70  per  thousand,  or  7  cents  each.  Therefore  the  total 
number  of  badges  required  can  be  procured  for  $4,200.  Deducting 
this  amount  from  the  total  sum  of  $5,967.47  available  for  the 
expenses  of  this  current  year,  there  will  remain  at  the  beginning 
of  the  next  fiscal  year  $1,767.47.  If  an  appropriation  of  $4,000. 
the  same  amount  as  provided  last  year,  be  made,  there  will  be 
available  for  the  next  year  $5,767.47  which  is  more  than  sufficient. 

POSTAGE. 

An  appropriation  of  $12,000  is  recommended. 


TRANSPORTATION. 

The  large  increase  in  amount  of  expense  estimated  for  delivery  of 
number  plates  does  not  appear  to  be  justified  by  even  the  figures 
of  the  department.  It  is  estimated  that  175,000  plates  will  be 
required  next  year.     70  per  cent,   to  be  delivered  by  parcels  post

per  cent,  of  that  amount.  It  is  almost  impossible  to  anticipate 
what  the  rate  of  increase  will  be  over  the  present  fiscal  year;  also 
whether  there  wll  be  a  change  in  the  rates  of  delivery.  Figuring 
at  the  above  amount  of  registrations  and  the  present  rates  of 
delivery,  the  expense  for  delivery  of  numbr  plates  would  be  ap- 
proximately $18,000;  the  balance  of  the  appropriation  would  be 
used  for  sending,  by  freight  or  express,  all  printed  forms,  sup- 
plies, furniture,  etc.,  used  by  the  bureaus  at  New  York  and 
Buffalo.  An  allowance  is  also  made  should  the  registrations  ex- 
ceed the  amount  estimated.  During  the  year  ending  September 
30,  1913,  the  total  expenditures  were  $17,777.35. 

RENT  AND  LIGHT. 

Only  $4,000  was  asked  for  under  chapter  702.  laws  of  1013,  because 
there  was  a  large  unexpended  balance  on  hand  owing  to  the  dis- 
continuance of  the  branch  oltice  at  IS  Washington  avenue,  Albany. 
Beginning  November  1,  1913,  it  has  been  found  necessary  to  take 
additional  space  in  the  New  York  office,  increasing  the  rent 
$2,000  per  year  more. 

There  is  an  unexpended  balance  on  hand  of  $5, 897.91  together 
with  an  appropriation  of  $4,000  for  the  present  fiscal  year  which 
will  be  sufficient  for  this  year  only.  The  rent  of  the  New  York 
and  Buffalo  offices  at  present  amounts  to  $6,820  per  year  exclusive 
of  light. 

41     MAINTENANCE  OF  AUTOMOBILES. 

Appropriation  requested,  $10,000  00 

The   actual   amount   expended   during   the   fiscal   year 

which  ended  September  30,  1913,  was  8,130  70 

The  appropriation  is  used  for  the  storage  and  maintenance  of 
four  automobiles  in  New  York  city  for  the  purpose  of  giving 
examinations  of  chauffeurs,  which  is  required  before  licenses  are 
issued.  These  machines  are  subjected  to  severe  strain,  being 
operated  by  so  many  men  who  are  more  or  less  novices.  Ap- 
proximately 39,000  chauffeurs  were  examined  in  New  York  city 
last  year. 

43  REFUNDS. 

No  appropriation  was  asked  for  in  1913  because  there  was  sufficient 
unexpended  balance  to  last  until  October  1,  1914,  which  balance 
if  there  is  any  remaining  at  that  time  will  lapse. 

44  INSPECTION  BUREAU. 

Appropriation  requested,  $90,000  00 

This  item  is  requested  for  the  purpose  of  instituting  an  in- 
spection bureau  in  connection  with  the  automobile  department. 
There  are  at  present  only  five  inspectors  and  one  chief  inspector 
of  automobiles  in  the  state  of  New  York,  with  the  result  that 
thousands  of  machines  owned  by  residents  of  the  state  operate 
under  licenses  of  other  states.  Violations  of  the  law  are  un- 
heeded and  fees  are  uncollected.  A  proper  supervision  as  out- 
lined by  this  office  would  tend  greatly  to  reduce  the  number  of 
accidents,  loss  of  life  and  damage  to  limb  and  property.  Such 
a  bureau  has  received  the  encouragement  of  the  press  and  all 
persons  interested  in  motor  vehicles  and  motor  laws.  The  auto- 
mobile department  would  collect  with  this  provision  —  with  no 
change  in  the  license  fee  of  motor  vehicles,  upward  of  $1,500,000. 
To-day  in  many  counties  no  moneys  are  turned  into  the  state 
treasury  for  violations  of  the  motor  law,  while  under  proper 
supervision  the  law  would  be  enforced  and  infractions  thereof 
would  be  prosecuted.  At  present  enforcement  of  the  law  is 
almost  a  farce. 

This  appropriation  was  approved  by  the  senate  and  assembly 
in  1913  and  vetoed  by  the  governor.    The  bureau  is  to  have  a 


Supervisor  of  records,  at 
A   deputy,   at

or  express  would  be  122,500  plates.  At  15^  per  package  the  cost 
would  be  $18,375.  It  is  therefore  evident  that  $20,000  should  be 
a  sufficient  appropriation. 


RENT  AND  LIGHT. 

The  full  amount  requested  is  recommended.  The  increase  is  only 
apparent,  the  appropriation  last  year  being  reduced  by  an  unex- 
pended  balance,  as  stated. 


MAINTENANCE  OF  AUTOMOBILES. 

The  sum  of  $2,000  for  the  maintenance  of  each  automobile  seems  to 
be  excessive.  The  present  appropriation  of  $6,000,  or  an  allowance 
of  $1,500  per  machine,  is  ample. 


REFUNDS. 

Appropriation  is  recommended. 


INSPECTION  BUREAU. 

The  statement  that  the  establishment  of  a  new  $90,000  bureau 
would  increase  the  state  revenue  to  the  amount  of  $1,500,000  in 
license  fees  which  now  escape,  has  no  evidence  to  support  it,  and 
the  amount  of  revenue  available  this  year  does  not  seem  to  permit 
the  making  of  a  costly  experiment.  This  item  is,  therefore, 
omitted  in  the  bill  as  recommended  by  this  department.

Same  as  last  year. 

Reduced  $500,  as  a  portion  of  the  unexpended  balance  remaining 
from  chapter  546,  laws  of  1912,  is  to  be  reappropriated  in  the 
supply  bill  for  the  same  purpose. 

Same  as  last  year. 

This  amount  has  always  been  paid  from  the  appropriation  made  for 
office  expenses.  It  is  now  thought  best  to  make  a  separate  ap- 
propriation for  this  purpose,  in  order  that  the  amount  of  rent 
may  be  readily  ascertained. 

Ten  thousand  dollars  was  appropriated  for  this  purpose  in  the  sup- 
ply bill  of  last  year.  It  is  absolutely  necessary  that  the  depart- 
ment be  provided  with  additional  office  room  and  an  effort  is  being 
made  to  provide  this  space.  The  office  is  greatly  overcrowded,  and 
if  the  additional  room  is  secured,  this  appropriation  will  be  neces- 
sary for  providing  additional  equipment  and  renovating  the  pres- 
ent quarters. 

No  appropriation  has  been  made  for  this  purpose  since  1912  and 
there  is  no  balance  available  at  present.  It  is  estimated  that 
this  amount  will  be  necessary  for  the  purpose  indicated. 

Same  as  last  year. 

Same  as  last  year,  with  the  exception: 

Tenth  grade,  one  employee.  $2,400. 

This  is  an  increase  of  $300  for  employee  formerly  in  ninth 
grade  at  $2,100.  This  employee  is  Charles  H.  Mullens,  one  of  the 
assistant  deputies,  who  holds  a  very  responsible  position.  A  re- 
quest would  have  been  made  for  this  salary  two  years  ago,  but 
the  civil  service  rules  would  not  permit  of  the  increase  in  time  to 
use  the  appropriation,  if  it  had  been  allowed.  The  comptroller 
feels  that  Mr.  Mullens'  work  and  the  responsibilities  of  the  posi- 
tion entitle  him  to  this  increase. 
Fifth  grade,  one  employee,  $900. 

This  employee  is  at  present  receiving  this  salary,  in  accordance 
with  civil  service  rules.     He  was  formerly  paid  from  appropria- 
tion for  two  employees,  fourth  grade,  and  is  now  being  paid  from 
an  unused  $900  appropriation  in  land  tax  bureau. 
Same  as  last  year. 

Forty  thousand  dollars  was  appropriated  for  this  purpose  last  year, 
being  for  salaries  and  expenses  of  this  bureau.     Under  the  provi- 


sions of  chapter  342,  laws  of  1913,  the  additional  responsibility 
placed  upon  the  comptroller  in  connection  with  the  audit  and 
examination  of  accounts  makes  it  necessary  to  increase  the  number 
of  employees  connected  with  this  work.  This  amount  is  necessary 
to  properly  organize  the  bureau  for  the  next  fiscal  year  and  pay 
the  salaries  of  employees  at  present  employed. 

15  Same  as  last  year. 

151  Same  as  last  year,  with  the  following  exceptions: 

Eighth  grade,  five  employees,  $8,700.    Increase  of  $150  each  for  two 
employees  formerly  in  seventh  grade  at  $1,500  each. 

These  small  increases  are  asked  for  the  reason  that  the  length 
of  service  of  these  employees  entitles  them  to  this  moderate  in- 
crease which  is  in  proportion  to  salaries  paid  other  employees  in 
the  bureau  for  similar  work. 
Sixth  grade,  three  employees,  $3,400.  Increase  of  $100  for  em- 
ployee formerly  in  fifth  grade. 

This  employee  was  transferred  to  this  bureau  in  the  depart- 
ment for  this  particular  work,  with  the  anticipation  that  the 
salary  would  be  increased  the  coming  year,  if  the  work  was  satis- 
factory. 

A  $900  position  in  the  land  tax  bureau  is  abolished  and  no 
appropriation  is  being  asked  for  this  year,  which  will  more  than 
offset  the  increases  in  salaries,  aggregating  $880,  requested  for 
the  finance  and  land  tax  bureaus. 

16  Same  as  last  year.     (This  position  is  vacant.) 

17  Same  as  last  year,  with  the  exception  ofi 
Seventh  grade,  2  employees,  $2,850. 

This  is  an  increase  of  $150  for  employee  formerly  in  the  sixth 
grade.  The  increase  is  asked  for  efficient  and  faithful  work  and 
to  establish  a  more  uniform  salary  for  work  performed  in  the 
bureau. 

Same  as  last  year. 

Same  as  last  year  with  the  following  exceptions: 

Tenth  grade,  one  employee  increased  $100. 

Increase  asked  for  this  employee  for  efficient  and  general  knowl- 
edge of  the  corporation  tax  law. 

Ninth   grade,   three  employees,   $5,900.     Increase   of  $100   for  em- 
ployee formerly  in  the  eighth  grade.

Seventh  grade  one  employee  increased  $100. 

The  work  of  this  bureau  has  greatly  increased  and  these  employees 
are  entitled  to  this  increase  in  recognition  of  faithful  service. 

Same  as  last  year. 

This  is  $5,000  more  than  allowed  in  appropriation  bill  of  last  year. 
There  was  an  appropriation  of  $8,000  in  the  supply  bill,  making 
a  total  of  $58,000  allowed  last  year.  No  request  will  be  made 
for  an  appropriation  in  the  supply  bill  for  this  year.  It  is, 
therefore,  a  decrease  of  $3,000  over  the  total  appropriations  for 
this  purpose  for  last  year. 

Same  as  last  year. 

This  is  an  increase  of  $9,000  over  appropriations  allowed  last  year, 
there  being  $50,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  and  $1,000  in  the 
supply  bill.  No  appropriation  is  being  asked  for  in  the  supply 
bill  this  year.  This  amount  is  necessary  to  pay  the  annual  sal- 
aries of  the  examiners  now  employed. 

Same  as  last  year. 

This  is  an  increase  of  $1,000.  There  are  at  present  three  detective 
agents  employed  at  $1,8080  per  year  each,  which  leaves  but  $600 
for  their  traveling  expenses  and  the  necessary  expenses  of  the 
bureau. 

Same  as  last  year. 

No  appropriation  was  allowed  for  this  purpose  last  year,  for  the

reason  that  there  was  a  considerable  balance  on  hand  which  is  to 
be  reappropriated  in  the  supply  bill  this  year.  A  new  supply  of 
stock  transfer  tax  stamps  is  now  being  printed,  which  will  add 
greatly  to  the  expenses  of  this  bureau  during  the  coming  year. 
For  that  reason,  it  is  estimated  that  this  amount  is  necessary. 

This  item  has  heretofore  been  appropriated  in  the  supply  bill.  The 
balance  on  hand  will  be  sufficient  for  this  fiscal  year.  It  is 
requested  that  this  amount  be  appropriated  in  the  appropriation 
bill  in  the  future. 

Same  as  last  year. 

$35,000  was  appropriated  in  the  appropriation  bill  and  $5,000  in 
the  supply  bill  of  last  year  for  this  purpose.  Request  is  now 
being  made  for  $3,000  in  the  supply  bill  of  this  year  which,  with 
the  amount  asked  for  here,  will  show  an  increase  of  $1,000  over 
the  total  appropriations  of  last  year  for  this  purpose.  This  is 
estimated  to  be  necessary,  owing  to  an  increase  in  the  work  of 
the  bureau  and  for  its  proper  organization. 

Same  as  last  year. 

No  appropriation  has  been  made  for  expenses  of  this  bureau  since 
its  organization  in  1912  and  the  appropriation  made  at  that 
time  is  entirely  exhausted.  A  request  for  $2,500  is  made  in  the 
supply  bill  for  expenses  of  this  fiscal  year,  and  the  amount 
asked  for  here  will  be  necessary  for  the  next  fiscal  year.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 


TEMPORARY  SERVICES. 

This  amount  of  $5,000  is  $3,000  less  than  the  appropriation  of  1913. 
This  fund  is  a  regular  one,  necessary  because  of  special  appoint- 
ment of  persons  in  connection  with  work  of  an  urgent  character 
in  the  office.      (The  appropriation  for   1911   was  $12,000.) 

COUNSEL. 

The  item  for  counsel,  commissioners,  et  cetera,  is  a  miscellaneous 
fund,  an  auxiliary,  in  a  measure,  to  the  other  funds  of  the  office. 
The  item  of  $15,000  is  the  same  as  that  appropriated  in  1913. 
Previous  to  this  administration,  the  appropriations  for  this  fund 
have  amounted  from  $20,000  to  $50,000. 

EXAMINERS  OF  TITLES  TO  LANDS. 

The  total  of  the  appropriation  requested  for  examiners  of  titles  to 
lands  is  comprised  of  $10,000  in  the  supply  bill  and  $15,000  in 
the  appropriation  bill.  The  total  request  for  this  fund  is  the  same 
as  that  appropriated  in  1913.  This  amount  is  required  for  the 
reason  that  there  are  eight  men  regularly  employed  by  this  de- 
partment in  connection  with  the  examination  of  titles.  It  is  my 
endeavor  to  dispose  of  the  vast  accumulation  of  titles  arising 
out  of  the  construction  of  the  barge  canal,  in  order  that  compen- 
sation may  promptly  be  made  to  the  numerous  claimants  through- 
out the  state,  whose  property  has  been  forcibly  taken  from  them 
by  appropriation  and  who  have  suffered  great  hardships  owing 
to  the  delays  in  settlement. 

Tli is  amount  as  appropriated  leaves  but  a  very  small  margin  for 
the  necessary  traveling  and  incidental  expenses  of  this  important 
work. 

LIBRARY. 

The  appropriation  for  this  fund  in  1913  was  $5,000.  It  is  necessary 
that  an  appropriation  be  made  in  order  that  the  library  of  this 
department  be  kept  in  proper  condition  to  meet  the  requirements 
of  this  office. 


9     NEW  YORK  CITY  ELECTION  CASES. 

This  item  of  $7,500  is  the  same  as  the  appropriation  of  1913.  It 
has  been  my  purpose  to  attend  to  the  election  cases  in  New  York 
city  by  means  of  the  regular  deputies  in  the  New  York  city  bureau 
as  far  as  possible.  The  expense  incident  to  the  attention  of  elec- 
tion cases  under  my  administration  has  been  but  nominal.  At- 
tention is  respectfully  called  to  the  fact  that  in  1910  appropria- 
tion was  made  by  the  legislature  to  the  amount  of  $50,000  for  the 
care  of  these  cases. 

10  OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

The  request  for  appropriations  for  this  fund  is  comprised  of  $5,000 
in  the  supply  bill  and  $15,000  in  the  appropriation  bill.  This 
amount  is  calculated  sufficient  to  run  the  department  until  the 
appropriation  of  1915  shall  become  effective.  This  fund  is  for  gen- 
eral office  purposes  and  necessarily  carries  the  heavy  expense  of 
printing,  stationery,  supplies,  et  cetera.  The  estimates  and  the 
use  of  this  fund  have  shown  that  the  amount  usually  requested 
has  been  sufficient  almost  to  a  dollar  to  carry  out  the  purposes 
required. 

11  SPECIAL  INVESTIGATIONS. 

This  item  is  $6,000  less  than  the  appropriation  of  1912  for  the 
same  purpose.  No  request  was  made  for  the  appropriation  in 
1913.  the  reason  being  that  the  available  balance  was  figured 
sufficient  to  carry  the  office  through  this  year.  The  fund  is  an 
important  one  and  of  such  a  character  that  this  department  is 
able  to  carry  forward  any  special  litigation  requiring  attention. 

18     RENT. 

This  item  is  an  increase  of  $245.55  over  that  of  1913,  occasioned  by 
a  new  lease  and  the  rental  of  additional  office  space  for  our  New 
York  city  bureau.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 
The  Commission  has  asked  for  appropriations  at  this  time 
for  salary  of  an  additional  examiner  at  the  rate  of  $2,100  per 
annum;  for  increase  in  salary  of  2  employees  from  $720  to  $900 
per  annum;  and  the  allowance  of  salary  for  a  new  position  at  $480 
per  annum. 

The  additional  position  referred  to  is  that  of  telephone  operator, 
with  salary  at  the  rate  of  $480  per  annum. 

An  analysis  of  the  schedule  of  appropriations  for  the  next  fiscal 
year  will  show  that  the  Commission  desires  to  increase  the  salaries 
of  a  number  of  employees.  We  do  not  consider  it  necessary  to  take 
up  these  increases  separately,  believing  it  sufficient  to  say"  that  the 
increases  are  recommended  solely  upon  the  efficiency  of 
the  employees  on  length  of  service  and  value  in  position  occupied. 

For  the  present  year  the  Commission  has  an  appropriation  of 
$6,000  for  traveling  expenses.  A  request  for  an  increase  of  $1,500 
in  this  amount  is  presented,  with  amendment  providing  that  the 
commissioners  shall  each  draw  $1,500  per  annum,  payable  monthly, 
in  lieu  of  all  expenses.  The  Commission  is  holding  more  meetings 
than  ever  before  in  the  history  of  the  department,  and  broadening 
its  work  in  many  lines. 

The  Commission  asks  for  a  new  item  of  $2,500.  covering  con- 
tingent service  of  temporary  employees,  including  stenographers  to 
the  commissioners.  This  item  is  most  essential,  as  the  commissioners 
are  constantly  engaged  at  their  home  offices  in  official  matters,  and 
require  stenographers  and  clerical  assistance. 

The  work  of  the  examinations  division  is  constantly  increasing. 
The  total  number  of  candidates  examined  in  1909  was  11,431;  in 
1910,   13,658;   in   1911,  20,055;    in  1912,   18.236. 

During  the  3-year  period,  1908-1909-1910,  the  total  number  of 
candidates  examined  in  open  competitive  and  promotion  competitive 
examinations  was  27,109,  while  in  the  3-year  period,  1911-1912-1913. 
the  total  number  examined  will  on  a  fair  estimate  reach  40,000. 
This  shows  an  increase  of  nearly  50  per  cent. 

The  number  of  high  grade  or  technical  examinations  held  in  the 
3-vear  period.  1908^1909-1910.  was  6,317,  and  in  the  3-year  period, 
1911-1912-1913.  approximately   7.500. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

12  OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

This  item  affords  evidence  that  even  the  Civil  Service  Commission, 
the  fount  of  all  purity  in  the  public  service,  does  not  disdain  to 
so  adroitly  word  an  appropriation  item  that  it  may  be  deceptive 
in  its  appearance. 

Concealed  in  the  usual  description  of  office  expenses  is  the  little 
phrase  "  and  for  expenses  incurred  in  the  inspection  or  investi- 
gation of  the  administration  of  the  law  and  rules."  By  authority 
of  those  few  words  the  sum  of  $1,264  was  paid  to  employees  last 
year,  and  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  the  Commission  reported 
a  deficit  in  office  expenses,  which  deficit  was  supplied  by  the 
special  session  of  the  legislature  in  November. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  words  above  quoted,  which  have  been 
again  inserted  in  the  appropriation  bill  this  year,  be  stricken 
therefrom,  and  the  item  describe  known  and  legitimate  office 
expenses.  The  position  hitherto  paid  out  of  this  item  has  been 
included  in  the  regular  staff. 

13  COMMENTS    BY    THE    DEPARTMENT    OF    EFFICIENCY    AND 

ECONOMY. 

The  amount  recommended  for  appropriation  for  this  department  is 

a  net  increase  above  the  appropriation  of  last  vear  amounting  to 

$4,660. 

The  amount  requested  in  the  budget  of  this  year  is. .  . .     $82,940  00 

The  amount  recommended  is 78.  306  00 


The  reduction  in  requests  amounts  to. 


$4,580  00 


The  increase  in  expenses  is  necessary,  partly  due  to  increase  in 
salaries  for  commissioners  by  the  legislature  of  1913. 

The  reduction  in  the  amount  of  requests  is  caused  by  disapproval 
of  some  increased  salaries.

BUDGET  REPORT  OF  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 


ADMINISTRATIVE  — DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 


WHY  THE  STATE  REQUIRES  THE  DEPART- 
MENT OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONONY. 


The  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  is  the  only 
agency  in  the  state  of  New  York  which  has  for  its  sole 
purpose  the  reduction  of  expenditures  and  the  prevention 
of  the  waste  of  state  funds.  It  was  created  by  chapter  280 
of  the  laws  of  1913,  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  com- 
mittee of  inquiry  appointed  by  the  governor,  which  made 
an  examination  of  state  finances  and  business  methods 
during  the  first  three  months  of  1913. 

In  a  message  to  the  legislature  on  March  24,  1913,  the 
executive  of  the  state  said: 

"  It  is  the  recommendation  of  the  committee  of  inquiry 
in  its  report  that  the  great  work  which  it  has  thus  hastily, 
but  with  remarkable  thoroughness,  accomplished,  should 
not  be  a  passing  work  of  wisdom,  to  be  read,  admired, 
commended  and  then   neglected. 

"  In  a  somewhat  similar  effort  to  promote  efficiency  and 
economy  in  the  administration  of  the  federal  government, 
more  than  two  years  have  been  occupied  by  a  commission  at 
Washington.  The  work  of  the  committee  of  inquiry,  during 
the  brief  space  that  has  intervened  since  the  beginning  of 
this  year,  will  not  sutler  by  comparison  with  the  two 
years'  work  performed  at  Washington. 

"  If  efficiency  and  economy  in  the  administration  of  the 
state's  affairs  are  to  be  furthered  and  made  a  permanent 
endeavor,  the  work  must  be  continued.  The  committee 
recommends  the  establishment  of  a  Department  of  Effi- 
ciency and  Economy,  and  wisely  supplements  that  recom- 
mendation by  legislation  which  will  uphold  the  hands  of 
the  Commissioner  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  by  putting 
into  operation,  for  the  general  welfare  of  the  people,  a 
systematic  business  and  financial  management  of  the  state's 
business  and  financial  affairs.  It  is  high  time  the  state 
of  New  York  was  placed  on  a  business  basis  in  the  ad- 
ministration of  its  affairs. 

"  *  *  *  I  am  convinced  that  there  is  no  room  for 
doubt  as  to  the  wisdom  of  adopting  this  course.  *  *  *  The 
legislation  recommended  by  the  committee  of  inquiry  has 
had  my  most  careful  consideration.  Its  wisdom  is  abun- 
dantly justified  in  the  committee's  report.  It  rests  upon 
good  reason.  *  *  *  If  the  recommendations  herewith 
submitted  shall  find  place  in  the  body  of  the  state's  law, 
the  great  Empire  state  of  New  York  will  take  the  place, 
which  rightly  belongs  to  it,  at  the  head  of  its  sister  states, 
furnishing  to  its  people  a  wise,  honest,  efficient  and  eco- 
nomical administration  of  government.  The  people  of  the 
state  so  demand.  Tt  is  our  duty  as  representatives  of 
the  people  to  enact  this  demand  into  law." 

STATE'S   BUSINESS  RUN   WITHOUT   SYSTEM. 

The  committee  of  inquiry  found,  and  reported  in  plain 
language,  that  the  business  of  the  state  was  run  without 
any  systematic  plan  whatever.  Each  department  was  an 
independent  enterprise  and  there  was  no  effort  at  co-opera- 
tion, no  point  or  place  where  the  various  activities  of  the 
state  concentrate,  said  the  report.  That  report  has  been 
justified,  at  every  angle,  through  the  painstaking  investi- 
gation which  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy 
has  made  since  its  creation  in  May,  1913. 

In  every  department  of  the  state,  so  far  examined,  anti- 
quated and  wasteful  methods  that  are  the  heritage  of 
many  years,  have  been  found.  Each  of  the  43  institutions 
of  the  state  had  its  own  methods  of  keeping  accounts  and 
of  spending  the  state's  money.  Until  the  creation  of  the 
Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  there  was  no  cen-

fourth  of  the  annual  disbursements  of  the  state  was  even 
audited  by  the  comptroller  until  the  finance  law  was 
amended  in  1913  upon  recommendation  of  the  committee 
of  inquiry  to  extend  his  power  in  this  respect. 

ITS  WORK  HAS  NEVER  BEEN  ATTEMPTED  BEFORE. 

The  work  now  being  done  by  the  Department  of  Effi- 
ciency and  Economy  has  never  before  been  done  by  any 
office  in  the  state.  This  report  on  requests  for  appropria- 
tions, with  recommendations,  that  are  the  result  of  scien- 
tific budgetary  examination,  is  an  example.  Such  a  work, 
performed  by  a  disinterested  staff  of  accountants  and  ex- 
aminers, has  never  been  attempted  before.  On  January 
16,  there  was  transmitted  to  the  state  board  of  estimate, 
and  later  to  the  members  of  the  legislature,  a  preliminary 
report,  containing  an  analysis  of  the  requests  for  appro- 
priations. The  analysis  contained  a  line  by  line  itemiza- 
tion of  all  the  appropriations  requested,  and  enabled 
anyone  to  discover  what  was  contained  in  the  more  or  less 
mysterious  and  often  misleading  requests  for  "  lump  sum  " 
appropriations.  No  such  analysis  was  ever  made  by  the 
comptroller,  or  any  agency  of  the  state,  prior  to  the 
creation  of  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy. 
The  advantage  to  the  state  of  such  an  itemized  budget 
requires  no  comment.  To  disregard  such  a  method  is  to 
step  backward. 

PREPARING  APPROPRIATION  BILLS. 

Since  its  creation  last  May,  the  Department  of  Efficiency 
and  Economy  has  devoted  much  attention  to  appropriations 
and  to  the  comparative  necessity  for  appropriations  and 
the  method  of  using  the  money  of  the  state.  Practically 
all  of  the  special  appropriation  bills  left  in  the  hands  of 
the  governor  at  the  close  of  the  regular  session,  last  May, 
were  at  once  turned  over  to  the  Commissioner  of  Efficiency 
and  Economy  for  examination  and  report.  One  hundred 
and  thirty-one  such  examinations  were  made  and  reports 
were  made  to  the  governor,  for  his  guidance,  on  the  rela- 
tive importance  of  the  bills.  In  addition,  every  item  in 
the  appropriation  and  supply  bills  was  examined  and  re- 
ported upon  in  the  same  manner. 

PREPARATION   OF  BILLS. 

Dpon  the  calling  of  an  extra  session,  appropriation  and 
supply  bills  were  twice  prepared,  in  itemized  form,  to  meet 
the  requirements  of  the  governor,  but  were  not  trans- 
mitted to  the  legislature.  In  the  fall,  an  accounting  was 
made  of  the  debts  contracted  in  the  executive  chamber 
and  executive  mansion  in  excess  of  appropriations  amount- 
ing to  $34,000,  and  an  itemized  deficiency  bill  was  prepared 
and  passed  by  the  legislature  in  December.  In  all,  five  spe- 
cial deficiency  bills  were  prepared  for  the  December  session 
of  the  legislature  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and 
Economy. 

The  special  deficiency  bills  were  prepared  at  the  direc- 
tion of  the  present  governor  with  the  avowed  purpose  of 
ending  the  practice,  in  vogue  in  many  departments,  of 
running  heavily  into  debt  and  trusting  to  the  following 
year's  appropriations  to  pay  off  the  bills  of  the  previous 
vear.  One  such  bill,  prepared  after  an  examination  of  the 
printing  situation  in  this  state  by  the  Commissioner  of 
Efficiency  and  Economy,  carried  an  appropriation  of  $520,- 
noo  tn  pay  off  old  bills  for  printing,  upon  a  large  part  of 
which   the  state  was  paying  interest.

STATE  HIGHWAYS  INVESTIGATION. 
At  the  present  time,  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and 
Economy  is  devoting  considerable  attention  to  the  state 
highway  commtssion,  in  an  endeavor  to  prevent  the  waste 
of  thousands  of  dollars  on  proposed  contracts  for  expensive 
and  extravagant  roads.  The  Department  of  Efficiency  and 
Economy  has  been  compelled  to  keep  a  close  watch  upon 
the  highways  department,  with  its  more  than  $50,000,000 
for  state  roads,  because  of  complaints  that  the  state's 
money  was  being  wasted  and  unfair  practices  were  carried 
on  which  prevented  competition  in  bidding  for  road  work. 
Within  the  present  month,  protests  have  been  lodged  with 
the  comptroller  against  more  than  twenty-five  proposed 
contracts  for  extravagant  types  of  brick  pavements,  asphalt 
block  roads  in  rural  districts,  and  the  construction  of  what 
amounts  to  city  streets  at  the  expense  of  the  whole  state, 
in  isolated  villages.  The  comptroller  has  the  power  to 
reject  such  contracts  and  he  has  rejected  a  number  of 
those  investigated  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and 
Economy  this  year. 

The  first  protest  filed  against  the  extravagant  proposals 
of  this  year  was  directed  at  the  project  of  constructing 
a  brick  paved  street  in  a  small  isolated  village  that  is 
seven  miles  away  from  the  nearest  stretch  of  improved 
state  highway,  at  a  cost  of  $27,732  per  mile.  In  this  case, 
the  state  would  waste  the  sum  of  $16,022,  over  what  a 
suitable  bituminous  macadam  roadway,  of  the  same  length, 
would  cost. 

Last  year  more  than  one  hundred  separate  examinations 
were  made  of  proposed  contracts  for  highway  construction 
and  repairs,  and  some  thirty-nine  were  recommended  for 
rejection  as  a  result.  These  proposals  totaled  more  than 
$500,000. 

CHECKING  FAVORITISM  TO  CONTRACTORS. 

Complaint  was  made  to  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy 
last  July  that  certain  manufacturers  of  material  used  on  the  highways 
were  enjoying  a  practical  monopoly.  An  examination  was  held,  which 
attracted  so  much  attention  that  parts  of  the  standard  specifications 
have  since  been  revised  in  response  to  a  public  demand. 

An  example  of  the  rapidity  with  which  the  Department  of  Efficiency 
and  Economy  responds  to  the  complaints  of  citizens  and  officials  was 
given  in  the  investigation  of  state  highway  No.  5243  in  Broome  county. 
Protest  having  been  made  by  the  county  superintendent  of  roads  that 
the  contractors  were  being  paid  excessive  amounts  for  work  that  had 
not  been  performed  led  to  an  immediate  investigation.  It  was  proved, 
within  a  month  after  the  payments  had  been  made,  at  a  public  hearing, 
that  the  excess  payments  amounted  to  over  $12,000,  and  the  attorney- 
general  was  at  once  requested  to  take  action.  The  road  is  not  yet 
completed,  and  it  is  considered  likely  that  the  state  will  at  least  reduce 
its  loss,  if  the  entire  amount  expended  is  not  recovered,  through  the 
promptness  with  which  this  department  worked. 

STATE  HOSPITAL  INVESTIGATIONS. 

An  investigation  into  the  affairs  of  the  state  hospitals  for  the  insane 
now  being  made  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  shows 
that  a  sweeping  examination  of  all  these  institutions  is  imperatively 
required.  This  department  is  the  only  agency  of  the  state  properly 
equipped  and  empowered  for  this  work.  Examinations  are  under  way 
of  the  conduct  of  the  state  hospitals  at  Gowanda,  Buffalo,  Rochester, 
Central  Islip.  Kings  Park,  Flatbush,  and  Wards  Island,  Xew  York  city. 

The  examinations  cover  the  records  and  the  physical  conditions  of 
each  institution.  The  conditions  found  thus  far  are  similar  at  each  of 
the  hospitals  examined.     There   is  a  carelessness  in   the  accounting   and

an  absence  of  effort  to  compel  well-to-do  relatives  to  pay  for  the  care  of 
the  insane  members  of  their  families  in  state  institutions  as  required 
by  law.  The  investigations  in  progress  show  that  there  are  too  many  em- 
ployees in  the  state  hospitals,  that  is,  as  shown  by  the  payrolls. 

Another  matter  under  investigation  is  the  apparently  high  cost  of 
maintaining  the  superintendents  of  these  institutions.  A  public  exami- 
nation held  in  response  to  complaints  regarding  the  affairs  of  Gowanda 
State  Hospital  disclosed  a  condition  that  had  prevailed  over  many  years. 
So  serious  were  the  disclosures  that  this  department  was  compelled  to 
recommend  the  dismissal  not  only  of  the  superintendent,  but  also  the 
removal  of  a  majority  of  the  board  of  managers.  The  superintendent 
has  since  been  removed. 

CHECKING  WASTE  IN  INSTITUTIONS. 

At  a  conservative  estimate,  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy 
can  practically  pay  for  itself  out  of  the  coal  bill  of  the  state  through 
cutting  down  the  amount  of  fuel  consumed  at  its  various  institutions. 
Two  engineers  are  constantly  making  scientific,  thorough  and  accurate 
inspections  of  the  power  and  heating  plants  at  state  institutions  with 
the  most  modern  testing  instruments  and  methods  to  reduce  this  coal 
cost.  Old  and  antiquated  boilers  and  furnaces,  lack  of  scales  at  the 
institutions,  and  costly  and  inefficient  plants  are  the  rule.  Over  a  mil- 
lion dollars  per  annum  is  paid  out  by  the  state  for  coal,  and  the  con- 
sulting engineers,  as  well  as  the  staff  engineers  of  the  Department  of 
Efficiency  and  Economy,  stake  their  professional  reputations  on  the 
assertion  that  this  bill  will  be  reduced  by  over  $200,000  per  year  through 
the  work  inaugurated  by  this  department. 

An  example  of  the  work  of  this  department  in  this  particular  is  found 
in  the  report  to  the  state  hospital  commission  concerning  the  Manhattan 
State   Hospital  on   Ward's  Island.     It  was  found  that  a   change   in   the

31 


plant  would  eliminate  entirely  a  cost  of  $1,000  per  month  for  handling 
the  coal,  and  would  reduce  the  consumption  of  coal  by  over  $18,000  per 
year,  amounting  to  a  gross  saving  of  $30,000  per  annum.  In  this  con- 
nection, the  department  reinforced  the  request  of  the  Manhattan  State 
Hospital  for  the  money  to  make  the  necessary  alterations,  which  would 
be  paid  for  out  of  the  savings  in  about  three  years,  thus  effecting  true 
economy  in  administration  for  the  state. 

REFORMING  ACCOUNTING  SYSTEMS. 

In  its  accountancy  division,  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy 
has  inaugurated  new  systems  in  the  state  architect's  office,  and  in  vari- 
ous other  directions.  All  of  the  forty-three  charitable,  insane  and  penal 
institutions  of  the  state  are  now  making  uniform  estimates  of  their  main- 
tenance items,  a  total  of  $11,000,000  annually.  This  is  the  first  step 
toward  a  uniform  system  of  state  accounts.  Daily  time  reports,  to 
account  for  the  employment  and  activities  of  state  employees,  have  been 
prepared  and  are  in  use  in  this  department,  and  have  been  adopted  by 
gome  large  state  departments. 

STATE  TREASURER'S  EXAMINATION. 

,  Upon  the  death  of  the  state  treasurer  an  immediate  examination  of 
his  accounts  was  begun  at  the  direction  of  the  governor.  The  examina- 
tion was  conducted  by  accountants  of  the  regular  staff,  who  have  the 
highest  professional  standing.  The  value  of  the  department  was  again 
demonstrated  in  this  instance.  Such  an  examination  had  to  be  made  by 
some  agency  that  had  not  been  connected  with  the  state  treasurer's 
office.  The  comptroller  could  not  make  this  examination,  under  the  cir- 
cumstances, because  his  examiners  inspect  the  treasurer's  books  every 
week,  and  should  discrepancies  have  been  discovered,  the  comptroller's 
office  would  have  been  involved,  unless  the  discrepancies  were  of  most 
recent  occurrence.  So  high  was  the  standing  of  the  certified  public 
accountants  who  made  the  examination,  however,  that  their  findings 
were  not  open  to  question.  Had  this  department  not  been  ready  with 
sucli  a  staff,  an  outside  audit  company  or  firm  of  accountants  must  have 
been  engaged  at  much  cost  to  the  state.  As  it  was,  the  examination  of 
over  $65,000,000  of  accounts  was  completed  in  about  two  weeks'  time. 

CHECKING  WASTE  IN  PRINTING  AND  OFFICE  SUPPLIES. 
The  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  has  been  making  an  exami- 
nation of  the  public  printing  and  the  purchase  of  office  supplies.  It 
became  apparent,  during  this  examination,  that  many  of  the  criticisms 
as  to  high  prices  were  due  to  methods  permitted  by  defects  in  the  state 
printing  law.  A  bill,  designed  to  remedy  these  evils  and  to  place  all 
the  purchasing  of  office  supplies  under  the  control  of  the  printing  board, 
was  prepared  and  has  been  introduced  in  the  legislature.  The  bill,  if 
enacted,  will  prevent  the  indiscriminate  purchase  by  departments  of 
expensive  office  equipment  as  well  as  of  the  regular  stationery  and  office 
supplies.  These  matters  will  be  regulated  by  one  body  and  competitive 
bids  will  be  required  from  dealers.  The  needs  of  other  departments, 
particularly  the  state  library,  have  also  been  adequately  provided  for. 

CHECKING  WASTE   IN   CAPITOL   RECONSTRUCTION. 

For  the  board  of  trustees  of  public  buildings,  the  Department  of 
Efficiency  and  Economy  has  examined  almost  one  hundred  separate  mat- 
ters. Upon  request  of  the  state  architect  and  the  trustees  of  public 
buildings,  matters  running  into  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  have 
been  carefully  investigated  and  passed  upon  by  the  examiners  and 
accountants  of  this  department.  Sixty  examinations  have  been  made  of 
matters  concerning  the  capitol  reconstruction  work  alone. 

The  first  matter  in  connection  with  capitol  reconstruction  to  attract- 
the  attention  of  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  was  a  set 
of  exorbitant  bids  for  finishing  certain  portions  of  the  interior  work 
on  the  capitol.  As  a  result  of  a  protest,  the  specifications  were  read- 
vertised  and  the  new  bids  were  $25,000  less  than  the  originals,  saving 
the  state  that  amount. 

The  Commissioner  of  Efficiency  and  Economy,  the  state  architect  and 
the  attorney-general  are  now  serving  as  a  committee,  by  appointment  of 


the  trustees  of  public  buildings,  to  prepare  plans  for  finishing  the 
capitol  repairs.  In  this  work  the  committee  is  assisted  by  Mr.  A.  L. 
Brockway,  of  Syracuse,  who  represents  the  American  Institute  of  Archi- 
tects. An  immediate  result  of  this  work  has  been  that  more  than  two 
hundred  employees,  whose  work  was  not  required,  have  been  dismissed, 
and  the  percentage  contract  has  been  suspended.  The  collection  of 
unsightly  sheds  in  the  rear  of  the  capitol  will  soon  be  removed.  All 
of  these  matters  have  required  weeks  of  the  most  careful  investigation, 
that  justice  might  be  done  to  both  sides  and  the  state's  credit  protected. 

EXPERT  EXAMINERS  NECESSARY. 

To  make  these  investigations,  the  services  of  expert  engineers,  chemists 
and  other  experts  of  the  highest  professional  standing,  as  well  as  of 
accountants  whose  conclusions  cannot  be  questioned,  are  required.  It 
would  be  futile  to  make  protests  over  the  findings  of  the  experts  of 
another  department  without  the  highest  professional  opinion  available 
to  guarantee  the  genuineness  of  the  criticisms.  On  the  highway  exami- 
nations, the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  has  retained  the  lead- 
ing experts  in  the  country,  one  of  them  professor  of  highway  engineering 
in  charge  of  postgraduate  work  in  Columbia  University.  The  saving  to 
the  state  from  the  employment  of  such  experts,  on  a  project  involving 
over  $50,000,000,  is  beyond  question. 

Although  the  comptroller  has  the  power  to  pass  upon  contracts  before 
they  become  binding  upon  the  state,  he  has  neither  the  men  nor  the 
appropriation  to  engage  them  to  make  such  exhaustive  examinations 
as  have  been  made  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy.  Fur- 
ther, the  comptroller  has  no  power  to  audit  the  expenditures  of  the 
state  highway  commission,  and  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Econ- 
omy is  the  only  state  agency  empowered  to  keep  a  constant  watch  on 
these    expenditures. 

EXAMPLE  OF  NEW  YORK  CITY. 
Had  such  a  department  been  in  existence  ten  years  ago,  there  would 
now  be  no  highway  scandals  nor  necessity  for  sweeping  investigations 
into  charges  of  widespread  corruption.  The  city  of  New  York  adopted 
the  policy  of  prevention  and  constant  watchfulness  many  years  ago. 
It  created  tire  office  of  the  commissioners  of  accounts,  and  now  has  four 
such  agencies,  doing  for  the  city  of  New  York  exactly  what  the  new 
Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy  is  performing  for  the  state.  The 
city  of  New  York  annually  appropriates  over  $500,000  for  this  purpose, 
the  commissioners  of  accounts  alone  receiving  more  than  $200,000.  To 
cover  the  state,  therefore,  as  compared  with  a  compact  city,  the  state 
should  be  willing  to  approximate  New  York  city  appropriations, 
whereas  the  Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy,  with  a  supervision 
over  forty-two  state  institutions  and  more  than  a  hundred  separate 
departments,  asks  for  only  $250,000. 

EMPLOYEES  OF  DEPARTMENT. 

This  department  at  the  present  time  employs  fifty-five  persons,  includ- 
ing the  Commissioner  and  other  officers,  in  the  regular  work  of  the 
department.  Of  this  number,  forty-six  are  in  the  classified  division  of 
the  civil  service,  or  are  special  experts  required  for  the  technical  and 
scientific  examinations  that  are  constantly  being  made  in  the  various 
departments  and  institutions  of  the  state.  Of  the  total  of  fifty-five  per- 
sons, nine  are  in  the  exempt  class,  including  the  deputies  and  the  chiefs 
of  the  two  divisions  in  charge  of  examinations.  Practically  every 
employee  of  the  department,  therefore,  has  passed  a  civil  service  exami- 
nation and  has  been  taken  from  an  eligible  list. 

STAFF  NOT  COMPLETE. 
The  force  is  not  yet  complete.  There  are  forty-two  institutions  in  the 
state,  which  spend  a  total  of  between  $11,000,000  and  $12,000,000  per 
annum.  Haphazard  methods  prevail  in  many  of  these  institutions,  which 
are  governed  by  local  boards  of  managers,  and  a  study  such  as  is  being 
made  of  their  management  and  needs  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency 
and  Economy  is  absolutely  essential  if  the  state  is  to  reduce  expenses 
and  secure  efficient  service  for  the  money  expended.     To  cover  adequately

such  a  wide  field  requires  a  larger  force  of  trained  men,  including  both 
investigators  and  accountants.  The  department  is  now  examining  sev- 
eral of  these  institutions  and  finds  amazing  conditions  in  some  of  them. 

The  work  and  the  organization  of  the  department  has  been  greatly 
handicapped  through  the  delays  of  the  state  civil  service  commission  in 
conducting  examinations  and  in  preparing  eligible  lists.  It  was  not 
until  October  that  an  examination  for  expert  accountants  was  held,  and 
it  was  not  until  January  of  this  year  that  the  eligible  list  resulting  from 
that  examination  was  furnished.  Application  was  made  in  May  for  cer- 
tain appointments  that  were  necessary  in  order  to  begin  the  work  prop- 
erly, but  this  application  was  denied  in  July. 

In  May  the  department  consisted  of  four  persons.  At  the  end  of  June 
there  were  six.  At  the  end  of  July  there  were  eight.  During  August 
fourteen  more  were  added,  and  in  September  five  were  appointed,  making 
a  total  of  only  twenty-seven  by  October  1.  The  remainder  have  been 
added  from  time  to  time  since.  However,  in  spite  of  the  difficulty  in 
getting  men,  and  the  necessity  of  training  them  in  the  work,  the  depart- 
ment has  made  more  than  three  hundred  examinations,  and  each  exami- 
nation discloses  the  necessity  for  maintaining  this  department,  fully 
organized,  to  check  up  almost  every  activity  of  the  state  government.

COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

Item  number  5,  providing  for  an  appropriation  of  $200,000  for 
printing,  contains  the  following  language:  "So  much  of  said  fund 
as  may  be  necessary  therefor  to  be  applicable  to  the  payments  of 
the  legislative  printing  under  contract  therefor  ending  September 
30,  1913." 

This  language  is  inserted  so  that  bills  contracted  prior  to  the 
beginning  of  the  fiscal  year  for  which  this  appropriation  is  made 
can  be  paid  out  of  the  fund  provided. 

By  this  method  appropriation  deficiencies  have  been  carried 
over  from  year  to  year  until,  when  the  accounts  were  balances  on 
October  1,  1913,  the  beginning  of  the  present  fiscal  year,  it  was 
found  there  was  due  the  state  printer  the  sum  of  $520,000  with 
no  funds  available  for  payment. 

The  entire  appropriation  of  $200,000  made  by  the  legislature 
of  1913  for  the  expenses  of  the  present  legislature,  was  paid  over 
to  the  state  printer  on  October  1st,  and  there  still  remained  due 
more  than  $300,000.  This  deficiency  was  supplied  by  the  special 
session  at  the  extraordinary  session  of  the  legislature,  but  no 
appropriation  for  the  expenses  of  the  present  legislature  was 
inserted  in  the  bill. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  language  above  quoted  be  stricken 
out  of  the  item  this  year,  and  that  a  sufficient  sum  be  appro- 
priated in  the  supply  bill  to  provide  for  the  printing  expenses 
of  the  present  session  of  the  legislature,  thus  leaving  intact  the 
sum  of  $200,000  for  the  session  of  the  fiscal  year  beginning  next 
October   1  st.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  LIBRARIANS  AND  MANAGERS. 
SUPREME  COURT  LIBRARY  IN  THE  COUNTY  OF  QUEENS. 

Application  is  made  for  this  appropriation  because  it  is  an  item 
annually  allowed  in  the  appropriation  bill,  for  the  purpose  of 
defraying  the  necessary  expenses  of  this  library,  i.  e.,  to  keep  up 
advance  sheets,  current  issues  of  reports  and  other  subscriptions, 
etc. 


LAW   LIBRARY,   UTICA. 
The  legal  title  of  the  holding  corporation  is  Utiea  Law  Library 
Association,  but  the  books  are  for  the  use  of  the  supreme  court  in 
the  5th  judicial  district. 


LAW  LIBRARY  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT  OF  THE  FIFTH  JUDI- 
CIAL DISTRICT,  WATERTOWN,  N.  Y. 
The  appropriation  bill  should  contain  an  item  for  $600  for  the 
law  library  at  Watertown,  and  for  $200  for  salary  of  librarian. 
The  library  is  already  of  such  size  that  It  requires  the  attention  of 
a  librarian,  which  can  be  obtained  for  this  reasonable  sum,  and  it 
cannot  be  either  used  or  preserved  without  such  care  and  attention. 
At  all  other  libraries  of  this  class  in  the  state  the  librarian  has  at 
least  $600  salary. 

SUPREME  COURT  LIBRARY  AT  BINGHAMTON. 

The  amount  asked  for  is  the  amount  that  has  been  appropriated 
for  many  years  last  past  for  the  purchase  of  and  binding  of  hooks. 


DELAWARE  SUPREME  COURT  LIBRARY. 

In  addition  to  the  regular  appropriation  of  $600  the  Delaware 
supreme  court  library  is  asking  for  a  special  appropriation  of  $600. 
The  special  appropriation  to  be  expended   in  the  following  manner: 

(1)  To  add  to  the  library  a  set  of  the  Federal  Reporter,  which 
costs  $425  for  the  complete  set. 

(2)  To  bring  up  to  date  the  reports  of  several  states,  which  are 
far  in  arrears,  because  of  lack  of  funds  with  which  to  keep 
them  up.     For  this  $175  is  needed. 

This  special  appropriation  will  be  deeply  appreciated  by  the  law- 
yers and  judges  of  this  sixth  judicial  district. 


SUPREME  COURT  LIBRARY  AT  ELMIRA. 
It  is  required  for  the  reason  that  it  is  impossible  to  run  tins 
library  on  less  than  $1,600,  and  that  amount  is  necessary  to 
maintain  it  as  it  should  be  maintained.  It  serves  not  only  the  bar 
of  Chemung  county  but  also  the  bar  of  several  adjoining  and  neigh- 
boring counties. 


F0LLETT  MEMORIAL  SUPREME  COURT  LIBRARY,  SIXTH  DIS-

It  requires  the  amount  asked,  and  more,  to  keep  up  the  reports, 
some  of  which  are  now  behind,  and  purchase  the  new  text  books 
absolutely  required.

In  order  that  the  authorities  having  charge  of  the  appropriations 
may  better  understand  the  needs  of  the  library  at  White  Plains  the 
following   statement  has   been   prepared   and   is   hereby   submitted: 

The  Supreme  Court  Library  was  formed  by  an  act  of  the  Legis- 
lature, Laws  1908,  chapter  304. 

The  old  law  library  of  the  county  of  Westchester  containing  all 
the  reports  of  the  courts  of  the  State  has  been  placed  in  the  custody 
of  the  trustees.  The  county  pays  the  salary  of  the  librarian,  $2,000 
per  annum  and  supplies  the  rooms  in  the  court  house,  furnishing 
also,  heat  and  janitor  service  and  pays  the  librarian  of  the  old 
county  library,  who  serves  as  an  assistant  to  the  Supreme  Court 
librarian    an   annual   salary   of   $1,500. 

The  librarian  is  required  to  keep  proper  indices  and  tables  of 
cases  and  to  run   down   authorities  for  the   judges. 

The  trustees  have  procured  a  change  to  be  made  in  the  court 
rules  by  which  this  library  receives  the  cases  and  points  in  all 
cases  argued  in  the  Court  of  Appeals  and  in  the  1st  and  2d  Appel- 
late Divisions.  One  thousand  one  hundred  and  thirty-six  volumes 
of  these  cases  are  now  on  our  shelves,  which  have  been  bound  at  a 
cost  of  $1,350. 

The  library  lias  been  designated  as  a  Federal  depository  of  the 
1st  grade,  receiving  from  the  Federal  government  all  the  publica- 
tions issued  for  library  purposes. 

Two  trial  terms  of  the  Supreme  Court  are  held  here  continuously 
except  during  the  months  of  July.  August  and  September.  The 
great  volume  of  criminal  business  compels  the  County  Court  to  sit 
continuously  except  during  the  months  of  August  and  September. 
The  library  is  so  situated  as  to  afford  easy  access  to  and  from  the 
court  rooms.  We  are  so  located  in  the  0th  district  that  the  judges, 
in  the  absence  of  this  library  would  be  compelled  to  visit  the  library 
of  the  Appellate  Division  in  Brooklyn  or  the  Bar  Association  library 
in  New  York  in  order  to  do  their  work.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES. 


STATE  REPORTER. 

The  reasons  for  the  increase  of  salaries  in  this  office  as  requested 
are,  generally,  the  increase  in  cost  of  living,  which  has  greatly 
decreased  the  purchasing  power  of  salaries,  as  compared  with  the 
dates  at  which  they  were  fixed,  and  the  fact  that  this  has  been 
recognized  by  an  increase  in  substantially  all  the  salaries  of  the 
two  other  departments  connected  with  the  court,  such  increase 
during  the  past  3  years  having  been  made  in  those  departments 
to  the  amount  of  over  $10,000  and  in  which  this  office  had  the 
benefit  only  of  an  advance  of  $60  in  the  salary  of  third  grade 
employee.  In  the  meanwhile  the  work  of  this  office  has  been  in- 
creased by  more  than  10  per  cent,  through  the  appointment  of  an 
additional  judge  at  the  beginning  of  the  present  year. 

As  to  the  merits  of  the  increase  as  to  each  of  the  persons 
affected  thereby: 

The  salary  of  the  reporter  remains  as  fixed  in  1872,  at  which  time 
the  salary  of  the  reporter  and  clerk  were  both  fixed  at  $5,000.  A 
salary  which  was  adequate  at  that  time  can  scarcely  be  deemed 
to  be  so  at  present,  and  especially  in  view  of  the  very  general 
increase  as  to  the  heads  of  substantially  all  the  departments  of 
the  State  government  from  $5,000  to  $6,000  and  the  larger  sal- 
aries provided  for  where  departments  have  been  recently  organ- 
ized. 

The  salary  of  the  deputy  was  fixed  in  1896  and  has  been  unchanged 
since  that  time.  The  deputy  has  held  this  position  since  1900 
and  is  a  lawyer  of  many  years  experience.  The  salary  proposed 
is  the  usual  salary  paid  deputies  in  other  state  departments. 

The  salary  of  the  managing  clerk  has  remained  unchanged  since 
1897  and  previous  to  1896  was  fixed  for  many  years  at  $1,500. 
The  present  incumbent  has  occupied  this  position  with  great  credit 
to  the  office  for  more  than  forty  years. 

The  salary  of  law  clerk  has  been  unchanged  since  1908,  at 
which  time  it  was  increased  from  $1,800  to  $2,000.  This  increase 
was  granted  following  a  readjustment  of  the  work  of  the  office 
by  which  additional  duties  were  assigned  to  him.  The  present 
law  clerk  has  been  connected  with  the  office  since  1888. 

The  salary  of  the  stenographer  has  been  unchanged  since  the  ap- 
pointment was  first  authorized  in  1909.  The  stenographer  is  a 
thoroughly  competent  woman  of  eight  years  experience  and  ranks 
as  to  efficiency  with  stenographers  receiving  $1,500  in  other 
departments. 

The  salary  of  page  was  raised  in  1913  from  $300  to  $360  and 
no  increase  is  asked. 

The  appropriation  for  office  expenses  as  to  which  an  increase 
of  $75  as  requested  is  made  necessary  through  increased  expenses 
of  care  of  office,  which  is  not  included  in  rental  and  which  is  in 
excess  of  original  estimate,  and  for  necessary  purchases  of  books 
for  keeping  up  the  library. 

SUPREME  COURT  REPORTER. 

This  is  an  increase  in  salary  of  $150.  The  office  is  held  by  Harry 
Cook,  who  is  admitted  to  practice  law.  He  keeps  all  the  office 
accounts  and  does  the  bookkeeping,  makes  the  indexes,  dictates 
notices  of  appeal  and  verifies  all  citations  in  the  state  library  of 
foreign  reports.  Mr.  Cook  has  been  in  the  office  for  five  years 
and  during  that  time  has  had  no  increase.  I  believe  this  increase 
should  be  granted. 

This  is  an  advance  in  the  salary  of  Harriet  IS.  Quintana  from  $1,800 
(she  being  in  the  8th  grade  at  present)  to  $2,000.  Mrs.  Quintana 
has  been  in  this  office  since  it  was  taken  over  by  the  state,  Nov.

10,  1905,  and  at  the  same  salary  she  is  now  receiving,  $1,800. 
Before  that,  she  was  in  the  employ  of  my  predecessor,  Marcus 
T.  Hun,  at  the  same  salary.  Mrs.  Quintana  is  a  widow  with  a 
family  to  support,  and  taking  into  consideration  the  increased 
cost  of  living,  she  is  not  receiving  as  much  as  she  received  for 
her  services  eight  years  ago.  She  is  very  intelligent,  competent 
and  efficient.  She  has  charge  of  opinions  and  lists  of  decisions 
when  they  are  received,  keeping  records  of  all  cases,  dates  when 
sent  to  printer  and  received  in  proof:  forwards  galleys  to  judges 
for  revision,  makes  corrections  in  page,  arranging  the  final  work, 
planning  and  preparing  matter  for  each  number  of  the  advance 
sheets  and   attending  to  the  finishing  of  each  volume. 

This  is  an  advance  in  the  salary  of  Margaret  K.  Van  Nouhuys  from 
$1,200  (she  being  in  the  6th  grade)  to  $1,400.  Miss  Van  Nou- 
huys has  also  been  in  the  office  since  it  was  taken  over  by  the 
state,  Nov.  10,  1905,  and  was  employed,  doing  the  same  work, 
by  my  predecessor,  Mr.  Hun.  She  is  very  efficient  and  an  ex- 
tremely hard  and  faithful  worker.  I  believe  this  increase  should 
be  granted. 

Miss  Van  Nouhuys  examines  every  opinion  for  errors  of  any 
kind,  verifies  every  citation  of  authority  in  the  opinions  with 
the  report,  including  the  verification  of  all  quotations  from 
reports  and  from  the  records  on  appeal.  She  also  prepares  the 
table  of  cases  cited  in  each  volume.  Her  work  is  very  exacting, 
requiring  the  strictest  attention  to  details. 

This  is  an  increase  in  the  salary  of  Anna  T.  Wansboro,  who  is  now 
in  the  6th  grade,  from  $1,000  to  $1,200.  Miss  Wansboro  is  a 
stenographer,  takes  dictation  of  headnotes  and  other  stenographic 
work,  but  in  addition  to  this  reads  proof  and  does  much  other 
general  clerical  work  in  the  office.  She  has  been  in  the  office  up- 
wards of  five  years,  is  very  efficient,  careful  and  painstaking 
and  her  work  is  of  a  high  order.  I  believe  this  increase  should 
be  granted. 

Since  I  took  charge  of  the  office,  I  have  lost  four  competent 
stenographers,  they  going  to  other  departments  and  at  increased 
.salaries.  I  lost  one  during  the  past  year,  she  going  to  the 
office  of  the  state  treasurer.  Miss  Wansboro,  in  addition  to  being 
a  very  competent  stenographer,  does  much  other  work  which 
could  not  be  done  so  well  by  any  one  else  except  by  long  ex- 
perience. 

This  is  the  same  appropriation  as  last  year  and  is  necessary  for 
the  employment  of  additional  help  at  the  times  when  the  "work 
is  very  heavy  and  demands  it. 


NEW  YORK  STATE  COMMISSIONERS  ON  UNIFORM  STATE  LAWS. 

1     The  authority  for  the  appropriation  herein  asked  for  will  be  found 

in    chapter    205   of   the    laws   of    1890   of    New   York;    the   last 

appropriation   of   $2,500   was   made   by   the   legislature   of    1913, 

chapter  792. 

The  legislature  about  every  two  years  has  appropriated  the  sum 
of  $2,500  for  the  purposes  of  the  commission  on  uniform  state 
laws  from  this  state;  but  in  some  of  the  years  only  2  of  the 
commissioners  attended  the  sessions  of  the  national  conference, 
whereas,  now  usually  all  3  commissioners  are  active  in  the  work 
of  the  conference,  attend  its  sessions,  and  perform  various  duties 
in  connection  therewith,  thereby  increasing  their  traveling  and 
other  disbursements.  Hence,  the  appropriation  of  $1,500  is  asked 
for  at  this  time.

SPECIAL  AGENTS. 

The  appropriation  in  1013  for  salaries  and  expense!  of  special  agents 
was  $150,000.  1  here  was  expended  during  the  year  ending  Sep- 
tember  30,  IMS,  for  salaries  and  expenses.  $14*4,.">28.31.  Owing 
to  the  large  amount  of  unexpended  balances  carried  forward  from 
preceding  years  there  remained  on  October  1.  1913,  a  totfll  balance 
available  amounting  to  $217.002. Oli.  Assuming  that  the  expenses 
of  this  division  will  be  approximately  equal  to  that  of  1913. 
namely  $14."). 000.  there  will  he  an  unexpended  lwilanee  at  the 
beginning  of  the  next  fiscal  year  of  $72,000.  This  will  he  sufficient 
to  provide  the  traveling  and  other  expenses  of  the  special  agents, 
which  amounted  to  $88,464  during  the  ftscal  year  ending  Sep- 
tember  30,  IBIS.  It  is  recommended  that  the  large  ap- 
propriation for  this  work  1*  divided  into  smaller  items  as  pre-

BUDGET  REPORT  OF  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 


State  Department  of  Excise  —  contimied. 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


Amount  asked  for  $8,000  less  than  average  expenditure  during  past 
two  years. 

During  past  2  years  average  expenditure  has  been  approximately 
$14,000,  which  was  several  thousand  dollars  less  than  expenditures 
each  year  for  some  time  previous.  Need  of  slight  increase  this 
year  made  necessary  by  renewal  of  card  index  record  of  certifi- 
cates issued  throughout  the  entire  state,  and  anticipated  change 
of  location  of  department  offices  in   capitol   building. 


10     Xo  appropriation  last  year.     Balance  on  hand  insufficient. 


1 1  Investigation  of  alleged  uncertificated  traffic  has  necessitated  ex- 
penditure of  approximately  $40,000  each  year  during  1911-1912 
and  1912-1913  and  great  demand  is  made  on  department  in 
this  class  of  work. 


13     Practically  no  funds  in  hand  for  paying  judgments. 

2.3,  26,  27,  28 

These  items  in  some  instances  cover  salaries  of  employees  who  dur- 
ing present  year  must  be  paid  from  "  Temporary  Service "  fund 
owing  to  items  being  stricken  out  of  appropriation  bill  and  in 
other  respects  corrects  errors  contained  in  last  year's  appropria- 
tion. 

33  During  past  year  services  of  several  employees  in  New  York  office 
were  discontinued  and  of  the  number  of  employees  remaining,  1 
was  of  the  8th  grade.  Item  for  his  salary  was  stricken  out  in 
appropriation  bill  so  that  employee  is  now  being  paid  from 
"temporary  service"  fund.  The  item  for  salary  of  this  employee 
is  here  considered  together  with  salary  for  1  more  eighth  grade 
employee  whose  service  is  needed  —  it  being  found  that  reduction 
made  in  office  force  was  greater  than  it  should  have  been.  To 
offset  apparent  increase  in  number  of  employees,  1  ninth  grade 
employee  is  dropped  in  Buffalo  office  force. 

36  Department  offices  were  moved  during  past  year  and  period  of  lease 
does  not  correspond  with  fiscal  year.  In  order  that  rental  may 
be  paid  up  at  close  of  fiscal  year,  a  slight  increase  in  amount  of 
appropriation  over  annual  rental  is  here  asked  for. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

cient  to  pay  all  salaries  in  this  division,  and  the  aforesaid  sur- 
plus on  hand  will  cover  expenses. 

7  LEGAL  EXPENSES. 

Amount  too  large  to  be  in  one  item.  Should  be  divided  into  smaller 
units. 

8  OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

Total  expenditures  in  year  ending  September  30,  1913,  were  $15,- 
601.35.  The  amount  available  at  beginning  of  present  fiscal  year 
was  $22,664.49.  Therefore,  there  should  be  a  balance  to  carry 
over  at  the  end  of  this  fiscal  year  of  $7,000.  The  item  should 
be  divided  into  smaller  parts. 

9  ENUMERATION. 

Amount  expended  in  last  fiscal  year  was  $1,520.44.  There  was 
$2,991.84  on  hand  at  the  beginning  of  the  present  fiscal  year, 
which  is  sufficient  for  two  years.     No  appropriation  is  necessary. 

10  EXAMINATION. 

Xo  appropriation  for  this  purpose  last  year,  and  it  should  be  omitted 
again.    Work  can  be  done  by  regular  inspectors. 

11  SPECIAL  INVESTIGATIONS'. 

This  appropriation  has  grown  from  $10,000  in  1910  to  $100,000  in 
1913  and  the  annual  expenditure  from  $4,000  to  $40,000.  The 
following  table  shows  the  progress: 

1910  Appropriation    $10,000  00 

Expended  during  fiscal  year 3,843  04 

Balance  carried  to  next  year $6, 156  96

Expended  during  fiscal  year 42,  823  24 

Balance  available  Oct.  1,  1913 $78,443  33 


There  is  sufficient  unexpended  balance  to  provide  for  the  necessities 
of  nineteen  years  at  the  ratio  of  1910,  and  even  at  the  present 
rate  of  expenditure  there  is  enough  for  two  years.  It  is  recom- 
mended that  no  appropriation  be  made  for  this  purpose. 

TEMPORARY  SERVICES. 

The   language  of   item   providing   for   special   investigations   is  suffi- 
ciently   elastic    to    permit   payment   of   temporary    employees    and 
appropriation    is   large  enough.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

The  following  shows  the  increases  in  items  desired  as  compared 
with  the  appropriations  made  for  the  present  fiscal  year,  and  reasons 
therefor : 
SALARY  OF  DIRECTOR  OF   DIVISION  OF  ADMINISTRATION, 

$4,000. 

Chapter  559  of  the  laws  of  1913,  amending  the  Public  Health  Law 
generally,  provides  that  there  shall  be  9  divisions  of  the  state  depart- 
ment of  health,  and  that  each  division  shall  be  under  the  supervision 
of  a  director.  Provision  was  made  in  the  regular  appropriation 
bill  for  the  fiscal  year  1913—14  for  the  salaries  of  the  directors  of 
the  divisions  excepting  that  noted  above. 
TRAVELING  EXPENSES  —  INCREASE  OF  $2,500. 

With  an  appropriation  of  $7,500  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  Sep- 
tember 30,  1913,  we  had  a  deficiency  of  $1,654.92,  making  the  total 
necessary  expenses  incurred  during  the  year  $9,154.92.  In  order  to 
not   incur   further   indebtedness   it   was   necessary   to   suspend   the

HEALTH. 

4     DIRECTOR  OF  DIVISION  OF    ADMINISTRATION. 

Tt  is  recommended  that  position  be  created. 


12     TRAVELING  EXPENSES. 

It  is  recommended  that  $10,000  be  appropriated.

BUDGET  REPORT  OF  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

State  Department  of  Health  —  continued. 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT, 
regular  monthly  collection  of  samples  of  municipal  water  supplies 
for  analysis  on  the  1st  of  August.  It  will  therefore  be  readily  seen 
that  the  $10,000  appropriated  for  the  present  fiscal  year  will  hardly 
meet  the  actual  and  necessary  expenses  to  be  incurred  during  the 
year   in  carrying  on   the  same  amount  of  work  executed   last  year. 


15     POSTAGE  AND  TRANSPORTATION  —  INCREASE  OF  $2,000. 

The  end  of  the  last  fiscal  year  found  us  with  a  deficit  of  $809.20, 
and  had  we  not  discontinued  the  systematic  collection  of  samples 
from  the  various  municipal  water  supplies  as  noted  above,  our 
deficit  would  have  been  much  larger.  The  department  is  required 
to  furnish  local  health  officers  and  registrars  of  vital  statistics  the 
necessary  supplies  to  properly  carry  out  the  provisions  of  the  public 
health  laws.  Recent  amendments  to  the  laws  require  the  depart- 
ment to  furnish  additional  supplies. 
18  SALARY  OF  ASSISTANT  SANITARY  ENGINEER  —  INCREASE 
OF  $500. 

This  is  desired  as  a  merited  recognition  of  the  faithful  and  efficient 
services  rendered  the  department  by  an  employee  who  has  been  with 
the  department  several  vears. 
20     INSPECTING     ENGINEER,     SALARY     $1,500  —  INCREASE     OF 
$1,500. 

This  item  is  to  provide  for  the  permanent  employment  of  a  com- 
petent engineer  who  has  been  in  the  employ  of  the  department  dur- 
ing the  past  three  years,  and  whose  salary  has  been  paid  out  of 
moneys  appropriated  for  investigations. 


30     SIXTH  GRADE,  1  EMPLOYEE  (NEW) —  INCREASE  OF  $1,200. 

This  is  to  provide  one  of  the  new  divisions  created  by  recent 
amendments  to  the  Public  Health  Law  with  a  competent  stenog- 
rapher and  clerk. 


38     SIXTH  GRADE,  1  EMPLOYEE  I  NEW  I 
Required  for  same  reason  as  above. 


-INCREASE  OF  $1,200. 


40  INCREASE  FOR  LABORATORIES,  $6,000. 

Although  the  work  of  the  laboratories  was  greatly  curtailed  dur- 
ing the  last  two  months  of  the  past  fiscal  year,  we  were  obliged  to 
incur  a  deficit  of  $1,049.02  in  carrying  on  the  actual  work  neces- 
sarily required.  The  $6,000  increase  requested  is  needed  to  enable 
us  to  go  through  the  next  fiscal  year  without  depreciating  the 
efficiency  of  the  laboratory  service.  Part  of  this  money  is  desired 
to  make  needed  improvements  in  the  buildings  located  on  the  farm 
recently  purchased  to  provide  suitable  place  for  the  horses  and 
other  animals  used  in  the  preparation  and  testing  of  antitoxins,  etc. 

Total  increases,  $18,900. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY"  AND  ECONOMY. 


13     INVESTIGATIONS,  ETC. 

'Hie  actual  expenditures  during  last  fiscal  year  were  $9,551.26, 
which  included  salary  of  inspecting  engineer,  now  put  in  per- 
manent staff  at  $1,800.  There  was  available  at  the  beginning 
of  the  current  fiscal  year  $20,017.36.  An  appropriation  of  $12,000 
will  be  more  than  enough. 
15     POSTAGE  AND    TRANSPORTATION. 

The  actual  expenditures  for  the  last  fiscal  year  were  $5,903.81.     An 
appropriation  of  $8,000  is  recommended.  ' 


34     SUPPRESSING  EPIDEMICS. 

An  appropriation  of  $115,000  has  been  made  for  several  years  with- 
out itemizing.  This  Department  has  divided  this  appropriation 
into  six  subdivisions  and  by  such  analysis  has  decreased  the 
amount  $15,000.  We  recommend  that  an  appropriation  of  $100,000 
is  sufficient. 
36     SIXTH  GRADE,  ONE  STENOGRAPHER,  NEW  POSITION. 

It  appears  unnecessary  to  provide  an  item  for  this  purpose.  Stenog- 
rapher can  be  detailed  from  the  regular  staff  when  necessary. 

37,  38     DIVISION  OF  PUBLICITY  AND   EDUCATION. 

This  division  appears  more  ornamental  than  useful.  The  proposed 
salary  of  the  director,  $4,000,  and  that  of  the  stenographer,  $1,200, 
can  well  be  saved. 


39  DIVISION   OF   COLD   STORAGE   INSPECTION. 

An  appropriation  of  $20,000  is  requested  in  lump  sum.  The  actual 
expenditures  during  the  last  fiscal  year  for  this  division  were 
$26,879.46.  Of  this  amount  $7,959  was  traveling  expenses.  The 
amount  available  at  the  beginning  of  the  current  fiscal  year, 
which  included  unexpended  balances  from  former  appropriations, 
is  $39,084.88.  It  might,  therefore,  be  expected  that  after  the 
expenses  of  the  current  year  -be  paid  there  will  be  a  surplus  of 
approximately  910,000,  to  be  carried  forward  into  the  next  fiscal 
year,  which  will  be  sufficient  to  provide  for  the  traveling  and 
office,  expenses.  Instead  of  a  lump  sum  appropriation  it  is  recom- 
mended that  the   item  be  subdivided  as  indicated   in  this  bill. 

40  DIVISION  OF   LABORATORIES. 
1  lie  request  as  filed  provides  for  a  lump  sum  appropriation  of  $45,000 

to  pay  for  the  maintenance  of  the  antitoxin  and  hygienic  labora- 
tories'. It  is  recommended  that  this  lump  sum  be  subdivided  into 
small  items  as  indicated  in  this  bill.  This  is  the  first  time  this 
itemized   form   has  ever   been   presented.

EXPLANATORY  NOTE  BY  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  INSTITUTE. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  state  institute  for 
the  study  of  malignant  disease  on  November  1,  1913,  it  was  decided 
that  the  annual  appropriation  for  the  coming  year  should  be  in- 
creased to  $65,000,  to  include  the  maintenance  of  the  suburban  ex- 
periment station  and  animal  farm  at  Springville,  N.  Y.  By  the 
acquisition  of  this  property  of  32  acres  much  needed  parts  of  the 
work  of  the  institute  can  be  accommodated.  Very  important  breed- 
ing experiments  with  animals,  fish  and  fowl  may  now  be  accommo- 
dated, to  determine  the  relation  of  heredity  to  cancer  and  allied 
diseases.  A  continuation  of  the  study  of  cancer  in  fish,  which  has 
been  precluded  by  the  cost  of  city  water  at  the  institute  in  Buffalo, 
will  now  be  rendered  possible  by  the  adequate  water  supply  on  this 
property.  The  trustees  point  out  that  the  property  is  a  gift  to 
the  institute  by  ten  public  spirited  citizens  of  Buffalo,  who  pur- 
chased the  property  and  have  deeded  it  to  the  trustees,  under  the 
provision  of  chapter  91,  laws  of  1913,  for  the  uses  of  the  institute. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

The  institution  requested  an  appropriation  of  $65,000  in  a  lump 
sum.  A  detailed  analysis  of  this  sum  was  secured  and  the  recom- 
mendation of  this  department  is  tliat  the  appropriation  be  made 
in  segregated  items,  as  indicated  in  the  bill  shown  above.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

7  Increase  of  $500.    This  I  consider  not  to  be  beyond  the  value  of  the 

professional  services  required. 

8  Increase  of  $500.     Same  reason  as  given  in  regard  to  No.  7. 

25  Increase  of  $5,000.    This  is  to  provide  for  an  increase  in  the  salaries 

of  2  men  now  in  the  9th  grade,  from  $2,000  each  to  $2,500  each 
per  annum,  namely:  2  men  who  are  rendering  unusually  efficient 
services  as  mediators  in  the  bureau  of  mediation  and  arbitration. 

26  No  change.     This   item  should   not  be   reduced   irrespective   of  the 

transfers  contemplated  in  item  No.  25.  It  is  desired  to  provide 
for  a  slight  expansion  in  the  division  of  industrial  hygiene. 

27  Increase  of  $1,800.    Is  intended  to  enable  the  commissioner  of  labor 

to  reward  long  and  meritorious  service  through  the  promotion  of 
one  who  has  earned  it.  by  competitive  promotion  examination. 

30  Increase  of  $900.  To  provide  for  an  additional  stenographer  and 
clerk  to  serve  at  a  branch  office  to  be  established  at  Syracuse. 

34  Increase  of  $360.  To  provide  for  the  employment  of  an  additional 
page  —  a  necessity  —  when  the  department  is  privileged  to  enjoy 
new  and  ample  quarters. 

37  A  reduction  of  $5,000  from  the  corresponding  item  in  the  appro- 
priation bill.  This  reduction  is  only  apparent;  it  is  reinserted 
under  "  Industrial  Board." 

39  Increase  of  $1,500.    This  is  absolutely  necessary  in  order  to  provide 

additional  office  room  in  Buffalo  and  Rochester  and  to  provide 
an  office  in  Syracuse. 

40  A  reduction  of  $1,000. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

37  TRAVELING  EXPENSES. 

During  the  fiscal  year  which  ended  September  30,  1913,  travel- 
ing expenses  for  142  employees  were  paid  out  of  this  fund.  The 
average  amount  to  each  person  was  $417.56. 

During  the  past  year,  the  department  has  been  greatly  enlarged 
and  a  sufficient  amount  must  be  appropriated  to  pay  the  travel- 
ing expenses  of  235  employees,  during  the  next  fiscal  year. 

The  estimated  amount  requested  by  the  department  is  an  aver- 
age of  $412.76.  for  each  employee,  a  less  per  capita  than  annually 
expended  last  year.  It  does  not  seem  feasible  to  divide  the  item 
and  the  amount  requested  is  recommended  for  appropriation. 

38  PRINTING  AND  BULLETINS. 

The  appropriation  for  this  item  in  1910  was  $7,500:  in  1911, 
$9,500:  in  1912.  $15,850.  The  expenditures  were  kept  within  the 
appropriations  during  these  years. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  last  fiscal  year,  October  1,  1912,  there 
was  available  for  expenditure  $15,995.52.  During  the  succeeding 
twelve  months,  an  indebtedness  was  incurred  to  the  amount  of 
$22,263.53  or  $6,268.01  in  excess  of  the  appropriation.  This  de- 
ficiency was  supplied  by  the  legislature  through  the  means  of  an 
item  in  the  supplv  hill  and  one  in  the  deficiency  bill,  aggregating 
$6,600,  leaving  a 'balance  of  $331.99  to  be  carried  forward  to  tin- 
current  year  after  all   indebtedness  was  paid. 

The  expenses  for  printing  had  increased  from  $6,886  in  1910,  to 
$22,263  in  1912. 

The  department  has  on  hand  for  printing  of  the  current  fiscal 
year  $26,331.99.  It  is  to  be  expected  that  this  amount  will  be 
entirely  consumed,  because  it  is  a  rule  that  expenses  grow  as 
fast  as  the  legislature  will  make  appropriations,  and  few  unex- 
pended balances  are  returned  to  the  treasury. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  this  department  that  this  theory  of  educa- 
tion by  bulletin  is  being  overworked.  The  reports  made  by  the 
bureau  of  labor  during  all  the  years  that  it  has  been  in  existence 
have  been  unusually  voluminous,  and  have  covered  the  necessi- 
ties fully,  and  it  is  l)elieved  that  the  sum  of  $15,000  will  supply 
all  of  the  printing  that  is  required  for  the  education  of  the 
people  into  the  virtues  of  the  new  labor  law. 

:;d     OFFICE  RENT. 

During  the  fiscal  year  which  ended  September  30,  1913.  there 
was  expended  for  office  rent,  in  New  York  city,  Buffalo,  and 
Rochester,  the  sum  of  $12,505.87,  in  addition  to  which  payment 
was  made  for  lighting.  The  increased  amount  requested  appear! 
to  be  necessarv. 
40     OFFICE   EXPENSES. 

The  appropriation  for  this  item  in  1910  was  $13,500  ami  in 
1911.  $21,000.  which  amounts  were  expended  and  no  balances 
were  carried.  Out  of  this  the  rent  of  the  branch  office  was  paid, 
so  that  the  other  incidental  office  expenses  were  $8,500. 

The  amount  available  for  use  for  the  fiscal   year  which  began 
October  1,  1912,  and  ended  September  30,  1913,  was  as  follows: 
Appropriated   by  the  legislature  of   1912   in  the 

appropriation  bill   $25,200  00 

Appropriated  by  the  legislature  of   1913,  in  the 

supply  bill    . '. 6,500  00 


Total   available   for  the   fiscal   vear. 


$31,700  00 


The  total  expended  during  the  fiscal  year  from  this  fund,  in- 
cluding rentals,  was  $33,782.20. 

Accordingly  there  was  a  deficit  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year 
amounting  to  $3,284.65,  which  was  appropriated  at  the  special 
session  of  the  1913  legislature. 

The  department  began  the  current  fiscal  year.  October  1.  1913, 
with  all  indebtedness  paid  and  an  appropriation  for  office  expenses 
of  $23,000  for  an  additional  amount  of  $15,000  for  office  rental, 
for  which  a  separate  appropriation  was  made  for  the  first  time. 

Deducting  office  rentals  from  the  total  expenditures  of  last 
year,  shows  an  actual  expenditure  of  approximately  $20,000. 
which  probably  included  some  unpaid  bills  carried  over  from 
preceding   years. 

It  is  universally  true  that  wherever  large  lump  sum  appropria- 
tions have  been  made,  there  has  been  uncurbed  increases  in  ex- 
penditures. It  is  recommended  that  this  office  expense  fund  be 
subdivided  into  at  least  four  parts  as  indicated  in  tabular  part 
of  this  report,  and  that  the  total  appropriations  for  all  office 
expenses,  including  rent,  be  $17,400.

BUDGET  REPORT  OF  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

Public  Service   Commission,  Second  District  —  continued. 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  COMMISSION. 

TRAVELING  EXPENSES. 

The  only  important  increase  requested  is  for  traveling  ex- 
penses. The  commission  will  exhaust  its  present  appropriation 
for  traveling  expenses  during  the  present  appropriation  year.  It 
must  be  contemplated  that  traveling  expenses  will  increase  next 
year  by  the  increased  work  of  the  commission  making  investiga- 
tions required  by  law. 


45 


CONTINGENT  FUND. 

It  is  important  that  the  commission  should  have  a  fairly  liberal 
lump  sum  appropriated  for  unforseen  contingencies  which  are 
liable  to  arise  a  year  hence.  It  is  submitted  that  a  lump  sum  of 
$15,000  for  such  contingencies  is  extremely  conservative.  It  is 
further  submitted  that  if  promotions  could  be  made  by  the  com- 
mission from  the  lump  sum,  by  adding  to  the  existing  salary  as 
merit  may  be  found  to  require,  or  as  necessity  shall  arise  from 
impossibility  to  fill  vacancies  for  help  at  stated  salary,  the  lump 
sum  could  be  reduced  to  $10,000.  This  would  enable  the  com- 
mission to  avoid  taking  the  whole  salary  from  the  lump  sum,  and 
so  leave  the  entire  salary  fixed  by  appropriation  unused. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

42  TRAVELING  EXPENSES. 

The  sum  of  $38,000  was  appropriated  in  1912  and  the  commis- 
sion reports  having  expended  $39,429.24  during  the  fiscal  year 
which  ended  September  30,  1913.  The  sum  of  $35,000  was  appro- 
priated by  the  legislature  of  1913.  The  commission  is  compelled 
to  limit  its  expenditures  within  the  appropriation  provided  and 
we  recommend  an  appropriation  of  $35,000. 

43  OFFICE  EXPENSES. 

The  sum  of  $35,000  is  requested  for  this  purpose,  which  is  the 
same  amount  as  appropriated  last  year.  A  schedule  of  the  ex- 
penditures under  this  item  lias  been  secured  and  it  has  been 
subdivided  in  this  report  into  five  portions,  each  carrying  slightly 
more  than  the  actual  expenditures  last  year.  By  this  analysis, 
it  is  possible  to  reduce  the  appropriation  in  the  amount  of 
$5,000. 

45     CONTINGENT. 

An  appropriation  of  $15,000  is  requested,  as  compared  with 
an  appropriation  of  $7,500  made  last  year.  Out  of  the  amount 
appropriated  last  year,  the  department  paid  $3,940  as  salaries  to 
employees  who  have  now  been  transferred  to  the  regular  staff 
and  whose  salaries  are  provided  in  the  schedule  presented.  The 
use  of  the  contingent  fund  for  the  purpose  of  increasing  the  regu- 
lar staff  is  contrary  to  the  intention  of  that  fund.  It  has  been 
provided  as  a  means  of  permitting  the  employment  of  special  ex- 
perts as  occasion  required  and  has  accordingly  been  misused. 
Inasmuch  as  it  has  been  demonstrated  by  the  commission  that 
the  fund  is  unnecessary  for  the  employment  of  experts,  but  has 
been  merely  a  convenient  means  for  increasing  the  permanent 
staff,  it  is  recommended  that  the  appropriation  be  reduced  to 
$2,500.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 
8,  4,  5,  6,  7. 

An  increase  of  $250  is  asked  for  which  increase  is  fair  and 
equitable  and  it  is  a  small  increase  which  has  been  well  merited. 
There  has  been  no  increase  for  2  years  and  both  the  deputies 
devote  their  entire  time  to  the  duties  of  the  work. 

There  is  no  change  from  the  appropriation  bill  of  1912. 

Referring  to  the  appropriation  of  1912.  3  new  employees  are 
asked  for,  namely.  3  more  than  were  employed  in  the  winter,  spring 
and  summer  of  1913.  If  the  provisions  of  the  general  statute 
be  complied  with  the  superintendent  of  weights  and  measures  has 
general  charge  of  the  weighing  and  measuring  devices  in  use 
in  the  state  and  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  have  sufficient 
inspectors  to  help  the  local  sealers.  With  the  number  of  em- 
ployees which  were  employed  in  the  office  in  1913  it  was  im- 
possible to  comply  with  the  requests  and  with  those  which  will 
be  employed  in  1914,  under  the  appropriation  bill  of  1913.  the 
work  is  of  course  very  materially  hampered.  It  is  desirable  to 
have  at  least  2  women  inspectors  but  I  have  purposely  refrained 
from  making  it  imperative  by  the  wording  of  the  item  to  employ 
2  women  inspectors,  otherwise  it  might  be  interpreted  to  strike 
out  all  except  women  inspectors  as  was  done  by  the  Carlisle  com- 
mittee in  their  suggested  appropriation  bill  of  1913. 
The  amount  asked  for  traveling  expenses  is  based  upon  the  estimates 
of  the  average  traveling  expenses  of  those  incurring  traveling 
expenses.  The  average  expense  per  employee  per  year  is  $670.07. 
based  on  1912  traveling  expenses,  and  this  multiplied  by  13 
makes  $8,785,  the  amount  asked  for. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

The  legislature  of  1913  made  an  appropriation  of  $17,050  for 
the  support  of  this  department.  The  amount  requested  for  the 
next  fiscal  year  is  $36,235. 

In  a  memorandum  filed  in  support  of  his  request  for  increased 
appropriation,  the  superintendent  refers  to  the  "  Carlisle  com- 
mittee." 

The  report  of  the  so-called  "  Carlisle  committee  "  in  regard  to 
this  office  is  as  follows: 

"  This  department  originally  cost  the  state  the  sum  of  only 
$300  per  year,  but  since  the  advent  of  the  present  incumbent 
has  gradually  increased  its  force,  until  it  now  consists  of  a 
superintendent,  two  deputies,  two  special  deputies,  and  ten 
other  employees  and  this  year  asks  for  an  appropriation  of 
$36,320. 

"  We  believe  that  this  department  has  become  expensive 
out  of  proportion  to  its  usefulness.  Every  city  and  county 
in  the  state  lias  its  own  sealer  of  weights  and  measures.  The 
duty  of  enforcing  the  law  establishing  standard  weights  and 
measures,  and  of  prosecuting  violators  of  those  laws,  is  im- 
posed upon  the  city  and  county  officials,  and  the  power  of 
the  state  department  is  limited  to  a  general  supervision  of 
their  work. 

"The  principal  duties  of  the  traveling  inspectors  of  this 
department  appear,  from  the  testimony  of  the  superintendent 
of  weights  and  measures,  to  be  in  instructing  local  officials  in 
their  duties,  rendering  them  assistance  when  disputes  ariae 
over  the  accuracy  of  the  standards,  and  advising  how  to  get 
evidence  against  the  violators,  besides  which  considerable 
correspondence  is  handled  in  the  office.

BUDGET  REPORT  OF  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

State  Superintendent  of  Weights  and  Measures  ■ —  continued. 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

Chapter  81,  laws  of  1912,  provides  in  section  18  for  a  board  or 
body  consisting  of  the  superintendent  of  weights  and  measures, 
and  the  chief  or  principal  weights  and  measures  officials  of  the 
cities  of  the  first  class  to  establish  regulations  and  tolerances. 
This  board  lias  had  a  number  of  meetings  and  it  will  be  necessary 
to  continue  such  meetings.  There  was  no  item  for  paying  the 
expenses  of  such  meetings  in  the  appropriation  bill  of  1912  because 
chapter  81,  laws  of  1912,  was  the  last  bill  passed  at  that  session. 
An  item  was  asked  for  in  1912  but  was  cut  out  by  the  Carlisle 
committee.  At  all  the  meetings  so  far  held,  and  there  have 
been  a  number,  the  chief  or  principal  weights  and  measures 
officials  of  the  cities  of  the  first  class  have  borne  their  own 
expenses  or  the  expenses  have  been  borne  by  their  respective 
cities  simply  because  there  had  not  been  time  to  insert  the  item 
in  the  appropriation  bill  of  1912,  it  not  being  known  whether 
the  bill  would  be  passed  or  whether  it  would  be  signed.  The 
state  is  morally  responsible  for  this  item  of  expense. 


COMMENT   BY   DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY   AND  ECONOMY. 

"  The  proposition  that  the  laws  against  the  use  of  fraudu- 
lent  weights    and    measures    should    be    rigidly    enforced    is 
agreed  to  by  every  one,  and  that  great  improvement  in  con- 
ditions has   resulted   in   recent  years  from   the   agitation   of 
this  subject   must  also  be  conceded,  but  we  l>elieve  that  the 
correct  policy  of  the  state  would  be  to  hold  local  authorities 
strictly    responsible    for    the    performance    of    their    duties, 
rather  than   to  maintain   large   and   expensive  state   bureaus 
first  to  instruct  them  and  then  to  watch  them  while  at  work. 
We  recommend  that  the  sum  of  $14,0.30  be  allowed  this  year, 
a  decrease  over  1912  of  $16,150." 
During  the  past  few  years  there  has  been  built  up,  by  estab- 
lishing  representatives   in   every   county    in   the   state,   a    machine 
which  is  headed  by  the  state  superintendent  of  wights  and  meas- 
uses.     Some  benefits  may  have  accrued,  but  the  expense  has  out- 
weighed the  benefit.     This  department  should  he  merged  into  the 
Department  of  Efficiency  and  Economy. 

Pending  that  course  only  the  minimum  amount  of  appropriation 
should  be  made.  It  is  recommended  that  the  same  amount  as 
provided  last  year  be  provided  by  the  present  legislature.

This  is  an  increasa  of  $2,000  to  cover  items  of  8  stenographers  and 
typists  and  junior  clerk  and  is  made  to  standardize  the  salaries 
of  employees  doing  work  of  a  similar  character  in  the  office. 

This  is  an  increase  of  $3,120  to  cover  salaries  of  three  typists  now 
employed  temporarily  by  the  board  whose  permanent  services  arb 
of  great  value  to  the  department  and  much  needed  in  the  service. 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

21  This  is  an  apparent  increase  of  $2,000,  but  is  in  reality  a  decrease 
of  $1,000  from  last  year,  as  the  supply  bill  carried  an  additional 
sum  of  $5,000  for  this  fund.    This  amount  is  absolutely  necessary.

These  items  provide  for  an  increase  of  $1,000  in  the  salary  of  the 
senior  deputy  health  officer,  an  increase  of  $1,000  in  the  salary 
of  the  2d  deputy  health  officer,  and  an  increase  of  $500  in  the 
salary  of  the  3d  deputy  health  officer. 
6,  10,  12 

Provide  deserved  increases  in  salaries. 

15  This  item  provides  for  the  placing  on  the  regular  payroll  of  a  car- 

penter who  has  been  for  some  years  in  the  employ  of  the  de- 
partment, his  salary  being  charged  against  the  general  expenses 
or  contingent  fund. 

16  One  electrician.     There  is  considerable  electrical  installation  at  the 

boarding  station  and  on  the  islands,  and  the  substitution  of  a 
modern  illuminating  system  for  the  present  gasoline,  vapor  illumi- 
nation will  result  in  considerable  additional  installation  of  this 
kind. 

22  There  is  a  vacancy  now  in  the  position  of  chief  bacteriologist  in 
the  department,  due  to  the  recent  death  of  Dr.  E.  C.  Baldwin, 
who  had  the  advantage  of  gaining  a  very  considerable  knowledge 
of  the  quarantinable  diseases  and  particularly  cholera,  during  his 
long  experience  in  the  department.  It  will  be  necessary,  with  the 
new  laboratory  and  the  increased  opportunity  of  performing  sci- 
entific work  of  great  value,  to  obtain  in  Dr.  Baldwin's  place  a 
bacteriologist  of  the  first  rank. 

23,  25 

The  construction  of  the  new  laboratory  and  the  increased  duty  of 
the  bacteriological  staff  consequent  thereupon  make  it  advisable 
to  create  a  position  of  first  assistant  with  an  annual  salary  of 
$2,500,  third  assistant  with  an  annual  compensation  of  $1,500 
and  two  stenographers. 

29,  30,  31 

An  additional  laboratory  assistant  should  be  employed  at  a  salary 
of  $720  per  annum,  and  the  new  building  should  have  a  janitor, 
because  of  the  fact  that  dangerous  chemicals  and  bacteria  are 
constantly  kept  therein. 

37,  38 

Provide  for  the  transfer  from  the  general  expense  payroll  to  the 
regular  payroll  of  persons  now  employed  in  the  department. 

42  This  item  provides  for  an  increase  of  $200  per  annum  in  the  com- 
pensation of  the  superintendents  of  nurses  emploved  on  the  two 
islands  of  the  department.  Their  service  in  the  department  jus- 
tifies the  promotion. 

45,  47,  49,  50,  62,  63.  64  and  65  provide  for  transfers  of  em- 
ployees now  paid  out  of  contingent  fund  to  regular  payroll  and 
for  certain  readjustment  of  wages. 

66  This   item    provides    for    six    new   positions.     At   present   the   work 

done  bv  orderlies  on  both  islands  must  be  entrusted  to  laborers, 
ward  helpers  and  other  employees,  who  are  necessarily  not 
familiar  with  wardroom  work. 

67  This   item  provides  for  the  appointment  of  three  motor  enginemen. 

The  motor  boats  of  the  department  have  suffered  very  greatlv  in 
their  mechanical  parts,  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  thev  have  been 
operated  by  different  persons  when  it  was  impossible  for  the 
engineers  to  leave  their  stations  for  the  best  service. 

GENERAL  NOTE. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  the  sum  of  the  amounts 
requested  in  the  appropriation  and  supplv  bills,  which  comprise 
the  maintenance  cost  of  the  department,  is  $290,480,  whereas  the 
appropriations  made  bv  the  last  legislature  in  these  two  bills 
amounted  to  $297,679.92.  The  modification  of  salaries  provided 
for  in  the  appropriation  bill,  whereby  it  is  hoped  to  provide  an 
incentive  for  the  continuance  in  the  department  of  capable  and 
experienced  employees,  has  been  correlated  to  possible  economics 
in  other  directions,  with  the  result  that  the  total  amount  re- 
quested for  maintenance  this  year  is  less  by  $7,199.92  than  the 
amount  actually  appropriated  last  year. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

The  schedule  submitted  by  this  officer  includes  a  large  number 
of  new  positions  and  inserts  in  the  list  of  regular  employees, 
many  who  were  formedly  paid  out  of  contingent  fund  and  general 
expenses.  There  are  three  large  items  included  in  the  annual 
appropriation  for  several  years  past.    In  1913,  these  were: 

For  food    $37,400 

For  general  expenses   34  500 

For  contingent  expenses   50  000 

Total    $121,900 

It  appears  that  these  three  funds  have  been  used  practically 
as  one.  Reference  to  reports  of  the  comptroller  for  several  year's 
past,  indicate  that  the  food  supplies  as  well  as  labor  have  been 
paid  out  of  the  contingent  fund  in  some  years,  and  almost  an  un- 
touched appropriation  for  food  carried  into  the  next  year. 

A  calculation  of  the  amount  consumed  out  of  these  three  items 
indicate  an  average  cost  of  approximately  $85,000  per  year,  in- 
cluding, last  year,  payments  to  laborers  and  other  employees  of 
more  than  $7,000.  It  appears  certain,  therefore,  that  $80,000 
for  legitimate  expenses,  exclusive  of  employees,  is  ample  for  the 
maintenance  of  this  department  for  one  year. 

Calculated  upon  this  amount  for  the  current  fiscal  year,  there 
will  be  a  balance  available  on  October  1st,  1914,  of  $30,000  and 
an  appropriation  is  recommended  of  $50,000  to  make  up  the 
amount  necessary  for  maintenance  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning 
October  1st.  To  accomplish  this,  employees  at  present  in  ser- 
vice, whose  salaries  and  wages  aggregate  $7,620,  have  been  in-, 
eluded  in  the  authorized  list  of  employees. 

The  contingent  fund  of  this  department  requires  special  noJ 
tice.  It  is  authorized  by  section  144  of  the  public  health  law,; 
in  the  following  language: 

"  There  may  be  annually  appropriated  for  the  health  officer 
a   contingent   fund    which,    notwithstanding   any   other    pro-] 
vision  of  law,  may  be  paid  to  him  by  the   treasurer  on  the 
warrant  of  the  comptroller.     Such  fund  may  be  used  bv  him 
to   pay   current   expenses   of    his   office   for   Which    an    imme- 
diate payment  in  cash  is  required,  but  he  shall  render  to  th« 
state  comptroller  on  or  before  the  fifth   day  of  each  month 
a  sworn    itemized  statement  of  all  such   expenditures  from 
such  fund  during  the  preceding  calendar  month.     The  health 
officer  shall  keep  an  account  of  all  moneys  received  or  dis-| 
bursed  by  him  under  this  section." 
The  reason  stated   annually  by  the  health  officer  of  the  |K>rt 
of  New  York  in  his  request  to  the  legislature  for  appropriations, 
is  similar  to  the  languasre  employed  by  that  officer  in  his  request 
this  year,  which  is  as  follows: 

"Such  a  fund  is  necessary  because  of  the  impossibility  of 
a  foreknowledge  of  the  charges  which  may  be  imposed  on  the 
department  at  any  time  by  reason  of  a  visitation  of  one  ofi 
the  quarantinable  diseases.     All   quarantine  authorities  are 
apprehensive  of  possible  developments  from  the  cholera  situa- 
tion in  the  far  east,  where  the  sanitary  conditions  resultant 
upon  the  Balkan  war  have  again  brought  cholera  into  Europe. 
Facing  this  danger  on  one  hand,  we  shall  soon  l>e  exposed  to 
another  when   the  opening  of  the  Panama  canal   shall   brinjr 
us    into    direct   maritime   communication    with    the    far    east 
and    with    the    plague     infected    western    coast    of     SoutJ* 
America." 
For   several    successive  years,   the  legislature   has   provided   a 
contingent  fund,  but  a  consultation  of  our  records  proves  that  it 
has  been  expended  each  year  in  the  ordinary  work  of  the  depart- 
ment, and  was  not  required  for  any  emergency  epidemic. 

It  is  recommended  that  no  appropriation  be  made  in  the  gen- 
eral terms  heretofore  employed,  and  that  only  such  amount  lie 
allowed  as  is  required  for  the  proper  maintenance  of  the  quaran- 
tine office.  The  total  appropriation  for  this  department  in  1913 
was  $297,679.52.  The  amount  turned  into  the  treasurer  as  a 
result  of  fees  collected  from  steamship  companies  for  fumigation 
and  inspections,  and  for  the  payment  of  passengers  detained  at 
quarantine,  was  $145,685.27.  The  total  appropriation  recom- 
mended by  this  department  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October 
1st,  1914,  is  $236,350,  which  takes  into  account  a  probable  un- 
expended balance  available  for  the  next  fiscal  year  of  $30,000.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

The  completed  unification,  under  the  supervision  of  the  state,  of  the 
state's  system   of  public  education,  makes   it  proper  and  desirable 
that  the  disbursements  of  appropriations  therefor  should  be  made 
by  their  chief  executive  officer,  under  the  direction  and  rules  of 
the  board  of  regents  of  the  university. 
And,   making,   as   proposed,   balances  of   appropriations,   other   than 
those   for    salaries,   remaining   unexpended   at   the   end    of   a   fiscal 
year,  available  for  like  use  in  the  succeeding  year,  will  tend,  rather 
than  otherwise,  to   induce  economical   current  use  of  appropriated 
funds,   causing,   often,   efforts  to  be   made   to   save  over   from   one 
year  something  to  help  meet  anticipated  extra  needs  in  the  next 
year,  and  thus  relieve  from  the  necessity  of  seeking  special  aid  in 
the  supply  bill.     It  will  also  lessen  the  temptation  to  spend  money 
needlessly,  in  order  to  prevent  any  unused  balance  from  lapsing. 
The  election   of   an    eminent  college  president   as   commissioner   of 
education,  to  be  thereby  the  chief  executive  officer  of  the  university 
of  the  state,  in  the  exercise  of  its  functions  as  the  state  department 
of  education  under  the  completion  of  educational  unification,  has 
made  it  appropriate  and  desirable  to  give  him  the  official  scholastic 
title  of  president  of  the  university  and  such  office  lias  been  created 
and  its  incumbent  especially  charged  with  the  duty  of  educational 
research  in  aid  of  the  betterment  of  the  state's  educational  system. 
The  two  offices  of  president  of   the  university  and   commissioner 
of  education  will,  however,  be  practically  one  and  be  held  by  the 
same  person,   and   but  one  combined  salary  is  now  requested  for 
such   combined   offices,   and   of   the  same   amount   heretofore   paid 
to  the  commissioner  of  education.     But,  as  explained   in   connec- 
tion   therewith,    an    additional    appropriation    is    requested    for 
traveling  and  other  expenses. 
Provides  for  an  increase  of  $300  in  the  salary  of  the  confidential 
stenographer  to  the  president  of  the  university. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

The  argument  bv  the  appropriation  officer  of  the  department 
of  education  is  so  ineenious  and  eloquent  that  it  presents  its  own 
reason  for  being  published  in  full   in  this  report. 

The  appropriation  of  large  unitemized  sums  which  overlap 
succeeding  fiscal  years  have  not  promoted  economical  expendi- 
tures in  other  departments  and  it  is  interesting  to  read  that  it 
operates  in  a  manner  diametrically  opposite  in  the  educational 
department. 

Despite  the  optimism  of  the  writer  of  the  educational  request 
it  is  recommended  that  the  various  sums  be  as  closely  itemized 
by  the  legislature  as  is  practicable.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

Provides  a  traveling  fund  for  the  president  of  the  university  and 
the  commissioner  of  education. 

The  physical  disability  of  Commissioner  Draper  rendered  it  diffi- 
cult for  him  to  travel  much,  and  his  expenses  in  that  way  were 
slight  and  no  special  appropriation  was  made  therefor.  But  it  is 
expected  and  desirable  that  President  Finley  will  freely  visit  the 
educational  institutions  of  the  state,  and  be  present  at  educational 
gatherings,  both  in  and  out  of  the  state,  and  make  special  jour- 
neyings  as  its  educational  representative  and  in  search  of  infor- 
mation that  may  guide  in  the  improvement  of  our  educational 
system;  and  it  is  proper  that  he  should  do  so  at  public  expense 
and  in  a  manner  and  with  such  accompanying  by  members  of 
his  personal  or  official  family  as  he  may  wish  to  have  with  him 
for  his  satisfaction,  comfort  and  assistance,  and  to  enable  him 
worthily  and  becomingly  to  represent  this  great  state.  The  fund 
suggested  therefor  is  not  excessive  for  its  purpose,  and  the  extent 
and  manner  of  its  use  may  properly  rest  in  the  discretion  of  the 
president  of  the  university. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

Tt  will  be  a  very  slight  inconvenience  to  the  president  of  the 
university  and  commissioner  of  education  to  observe  the  general 
provisions  contemplated  by  the  comptroller  in  regard  to  itemized 
expense  accounts  and  it  is,  therefore,  recommended  that  the  lan- 
guage of  this  item  be  changed  so  as  to  eliminate  unofficial 
travelers  and  provide  for  itemized  accounts.

Under   the    Compulsory    Attendance   Division   this   budget   omits    1 
employee  at  $000  which  place  we  have  not  needed  to  use. 

30  Provides  for  the  promotion  of  Horace  L.  Field  from  $1,800  to  $2,100 

per  annum.  Mr.  Field  has  general  charge  of  the  office  force  of  the 
Examinations  Division  and  the  increase  in  salary  is  only  commen- 
surate with  his  responsibilities. 

31  Provides  for  the  promotion  of  Charles  B.  Heisler,  assistant  statis- 

tician in  the  Examinations  Division,  from  $1,500  to  $l,80O  per 
annum.  Mr.  Heisler  has  the  responsibility  connected  with  corre- 
spondence relative  to  qualifying  examinations  and  certificates. 
This  will  leave  the  number  of  employees  in  the  8th  grade  the 
same  as  in  last  year's  appropriation  bill. 

32  Provides  for  the  promotion  of  0  employees  from  $1,200  to  $1,500  per 

annum.  This  list  covers  the  senior  examiners  and  clerks  in  the 
examinations  division,  many  of  whom  have  served  the  department 
for  years  without  any  change  in  compensation.  They  carry  a  large 
amount  of  responsibility  in  the  conduct  of  the  work  of  the  division, 
are  verv  efficient  and  devoted  to  the  work  assigned  them. 

33  Provides  for  the   promotion   of   3  employees   from   $1,000  to   $1,200 

per  annum,  and- the.  promotion  of  6  employees  from  $900  to  $1,000 
per  annum. 

34  Provides  for  the  promotion  of  2  employees  from  $720  to  $900  per 

annum. 

35  Provides  for  the  promotion  of  2  employees  from  $600  to  $720  per 

annum,  and  the  addition  of  1  employee  resulting  from  the  work 
entailed  by  the  state  scholarship  law. 

36  Provides    for    the   addition    of    2   employees   at   $600.      These    em- 

ployees are  also  made  necessary  by  the  great  increase  in  the 
work  resulting  from  the  state  scholarship  law.  This  will  leave 
the  number  of  employees  in  the  3d  grade  the  same  as  in  last 
year's  appropriation  bill. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

It  is  recommended  that  all  increases  of  salaries  be  disallowed 
this  year. 

Items  Xos.  32,  33,  34,  and  35  comprise  46  employees  and  carry 
a  total  appropriation  of  $56,920. 

It  is  recommended  that  these  items  be  subdivided  into  the 
title  of  the  position  occupied  by  the  incumbents,  in  accordance 
with  schedule  presented  as  recommended  by  this  department.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

Provide!  for  3  employees  at  $1,500  each.  Two  of  these  employees 
have  served  the  educational  extension  division  for  years  and  have 
rendered  very  eftieient  service.  The  item  amounting  to  $3,000 
which  provided  for  their  salaries  was  vetoed  last  vear  through  a 
misunderstanding.  We  are  requesting  that  funds 'he  made  avail- 
able for  their  reinstatement  and  that  an  additional  employee  at 
$1,500  he  provided.  ' 

Provides  for  an  increase  of  $10,000  in  the  grants  to  he  made  to  public 
libraries.  This  increase  makes  the  amount  the  same  as  that 
allowed  in  the  appropriation  bill  of  1012.  It  is  merely  sufficient 
to  provide  $100  to  each  free  library  for  the  purposes' mentioned 
in  sections  52.  1131,  1132  and  1133  of  the  education  law.  The 
item  is  only  a  restoration  of  the  regular  appropriation  formerly 
available. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

102     It    is    recommended    that    appropriation    be    made    for    two    library 
organizers  and  that  request  for  additional   employee  be  denied. 

GRANTS  TO  PUBLIC  LIBRARIES. 

The  appropriation  of  public  money  for  free  libraries  last  year 
was  $25,000. 

The  appropriation  in  1012  was  $35,000.  Out  of  this  fund  a  sum 
of  money  equal  to  that  which  is  raised  by  local  communities  is 
distributed  among  local  libraries  for  the  purchase  of  books. 
Last  year  370  libraries  in  57  counties  received  donations.  In 
1012.  504  libraries  shared  in  the  distribution.  The  department 
is  very  earnest  in  its  advocacy  for  an  appropriation  for  this  pur- 
pose, but  it  is  utterly  impossible  to  provide  a  sufficient  amount  of 
state  funds  without  direct  taxation  to  put  into  effect  all  of  the 
educational  projects  which  may  be  suggested. 

Complaint  is  made  in  another  portion  about  the  encroachment 
upon  the  school  fund.  The  library  fund  could  be  diverted  to  the 
common  school  fund  without  any  serious  loss  to  anybody. 

It  is  recommended  that  not  more  than  $25,000  be  appropriated 
for  this  purpose.

120  Provides  for  an  increase  of  $10,000  in  the  expenses  connected  with 

the  state  museum,  made  necessary  by  the  largely  increased  activi- 
ties of  the  museum  in  occupying  their  new  quarters  in  the  edu- 
cation building. 

121  Provides  for  an  increase  of  $3,000  over  the  amount  appropriated  last 

year.  This  item  was  placed  last  year  in  the  supply  bill,  although 
it  had  been  a  regular  item  in  the  appropriation  bill  before  that 
time. 
122  Provides  for  the  necessary  services  of  the  various  employees,  such 
as  elevatormen,  orderlies,  porters,  cleaners  and  others  in  the  care 
and  maintenance  of  the  education  building.  The  appropriation 
which  is  requested  is  the  same  in  amount  as  that  requested  in 
the  budget  of  this  department  last  year.  The  opening  of  the 
state  museum  will  make  increased  demands  upon  this  time.  It 
is  a  conservative  estimate  of  the  amount  necessary  for  the  pur- 
pose mentioned. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 
120     EXPENSE  OF  MUSEUM. 

The  customary  appropriation  for  the  expense  of  the  museum  has 
been  $10,000.  A  contingent  fund  for  temporary  services  is  sup- 
plied the  department  and  any  additional  employees  necessary 
for  the  arrangement  of  the  state  museum  in  its  new  quarters  may 
be  paid  from  that  fund. 

TEMPORARY  SERVICES. 

The  customary  appropriation  for  temporary  services  has  been 
$18,000.  It  is  recommended  that  this  amount  be  appropriated 
this  vear. 

CARE  AND  CLEANING  OF  BUILDING. 

The  cleaning  force  of  the  education  building  at  present  consists 
of  eight  porters  and  .10  cleaners,  and  the  wages  and  supplies  for 
the  fiscal  year  which  ended  September  30,  1913,  amounted  to 
$46,440.  The  state  museum,  which  comprises  the  entire  upper 
floor,  is  to  be  opened  very  soon  and  the  additional  sum  of  $15,000 
requested  will  be  required.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY   DEPARTMENT. 

Provides   for   an   increase   of   $5,000   in   the   appropriation   for   post- 
age and  transportation.     The  additional  amount  will  merely  cover 
the  normal  increase  in  the  routine  activities  of  the  various  divi- 
sions of  the  university. 
Provides  for  an  increase  of  $25,000  in  the  appropriation  made  for 
the  same  purpose  in  the  bill   of  last  year.     As  the  amount  ap- 
propriated and  available  for  the  present  fiscal  year  is  entirely  in- 
adequate it  is  necessary  that  this  item  be  restored  to  the  amount 
available    two    years    ago.      Much    of    our    work    which    is    quite 
vital  in  carrying  on  the  varied  activities  of  the  university  will 
be   vastly   curtailed   by   any   reduction    in   the   printing   item.      It 
is  scarcely  possible  to  continue  the  work  of  the  university  in  all 
its  phases,  in  the  issuance  of  circulars,  registers,  syllabuses  and 
other  material  of  a  similar  character,  unless  the  appropriation  is 
restored  to  the  amount  in  the  appropriation  bill  of  1012. 
In  this  connection   it  may  not  be  amiss  to  remark  that  the  uni- 
versity   printing   and   other   outlays   are    not   wholly    bad    business: 
last  year  our  receipts  from  the  sale  of  our  publications  and  from 
fees  for  university  services  were  over  $15,000,  which   amount  has 
all   been  deposited   in   the   state  treasury   and   might   reasonably   be 
regarded  as  being  reappropriated   in   the  allowance   here   requested. 
Provides  for  an  increase  of  $10,000.     We  expended  during  the  last 
fiscal    year    for    traveling    by    the    various    divisions    $24,140.33. 
Every   effort   is   being   made   to   curtail   these  expenditures.      The 
present  appropriation   bill   carries  $15,000  for  this  purpose.     We 
have  requested  an   item   of  $8,000   to  make  up  the   deficiency   for 
the  present  year.     The  item  as  requested.  $25,000,  will  merely  be 
sufficient  for  necessary   expenditures  of   this  character. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

123  POSTAGE  AND  TRANSPORTATION. 

The  amount  appropriated  by  the  legislature  for  the  fiscal  year  be> 
ginning  October  1,  1012,  and  ending  September  30,  1913,  wai 
$25,000.  The  finance  law  forbids  any  state  official  to  contract 
expenses  in  excess  of  appropriation  made  by  the  legislature,  but 
such  slight  impediment  as  law  does  not  seem  to  daunt  the  offi- 
cials of  the  department  of  education  because  the  appropriation 
for  this  item  was  exceeded  in  the  sum  of  $8,500,  and  a  deficiency 
appropriation  for  the  sum  of  $0,000  was  secured  from  the  special 
session  of  the  legislature.  It  is  recommended  that  the  sum  of 
$25,000  l>e  appropriated  as  sufficient  and  that  no  further  d* 
ficiency    appropriations    be    made. 

124  PRINTING. 

The  department  of  education  requests  an  appropriation  of  $45,000 
for  printing,  which  is  the  sum  provided  by  the  legislature  of 
1012.  The  legislature  of  1913  reduced  this  appropriation  to  the 
sum  of  $20,000,  which  is  all  that  is  available  for  the  present 
fiscal  year.  The  investigation  by  the  committee  of  inquiry  in  j 
1913  disclosed  that  an  extravagant  amount  of  printing  was  being 
produced  and  circulated  by  the  education  department.  The  total 
sum  expended  in  the  fiscal  year  which  closed  September 
1913.  amounted  to  $37,039.27.  '  There  being  but  $20,000  available 
for  tin-  current  fiscal  year,  a  habit  of  economy  may  be  inculcated 
to  some  degree,  and  it  is  recommended  that  a  similar  appropria

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

12(1  Provides  for  an  increase  of  $5,000  over  the  amount  available  for  the 
present  year.  The  increase  is  merely  sufficient  to  cover  the  normal 
increase  in   routine  expend itures. 


127  Provides    the    same    amount    for    the    purpose    mentioned,    namely. 

special  institutes  and  university  convocation,  as  was  provided  for 
in  the  appropriation  bill  of  1912.  As  no  convocation  was  held 
last  year  the  item  was  omitted  from  the   appropriation   bill. 

128  The  amount  requested  for  this  purpose  will  merely  provide  for  the 

payment  of  $100  to  each  holder  of  a  state  scholarship  during  the 
fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1014.  The  number  of  these 
scholarships  and  the  amount  to  be  paid  are  fixed  by  the  statute 
referred  to  in  the  item. 


129  The  item  requested  represents  a  conservative  estimate  of  the  amount 
necessary  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  the  statute  referred  to  in 
the  item. 


comment  by  department  of  efficiency  and  economy. 
120    office  furniture  and  supplies. 

In  urging  an  appropriation  of  $20,000,  as  compared  with  one  of 
$15,000  last  year,  the  department  states  that  "  the  increase  is 
merely  sufficient  to  cover  an  increase  in  routine  expenditures." 

The  department  occupies  a  new  building,  has  new  furniture 
and  equipment  and  it  is  somewhat  difficult  to  conceive  that  an 
increasing  amount  must  be  furnished  each  year  to  further  equip 
an  already  equipped  institution. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  appropriation  be  cut  to  $15,000. 

127  SPECIAL  INSTITUTE. 

Sufficient  funds  have  been  provided  in  the  general  traveling  ex- 
pense item  to  convey  any  official  speaker  to  a  convention,  if  their 
attendance  is  necessary. 

It  is  recommended   that  this  appropriation   be  omitted. 

128  STATE   SCHOLARSHIP. 

The  sum  of  $150,000  is  mandatory.  This  was  a  law  manoeuvered 
through  the  legislature  of  1913  which  inflicted  an  ultimate  cost 
of  $300,000  a  year  upon  the  people  of  the  state,  to  provide  a 
pension  to  a  certain  few  who  may  desire  to  go  to  college.  The 
benefits  are  not  distributed  among  even  a  reasonable  proportion 
of  the  population  and  the  law  should  be  repealed. 

129  STATE  MEDICAL  INSPECTION  OF  SCHOOLS. 

It  is  recommended  that  no  appropriation  be  made  for  the  pur- 
pose described  in  this  item.

Provides  for  an  increase  of  $1,000  for  this  purpose,  the  item  having 
previously  been  included  in  the  annual  supply  bill.  The  increase 
in  the  appropriation  is  made  necessary  by  a  slight  increase  in 
the  number  of  teachers  to  whom  annuities  must  be  paid.

ANNUITIES  TO  TEACHERS. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  sum  requested  be  appropriated. 

SALARIES  OF  SUBSTITUTE  TEACHERS. 

The  legislature  of  1013  added  a  pension  for  superannuated  teachersl 
to  the  statutes.     Chapter  631  provides  that  any  person  who  shall 
have  heretofore  or  shall  hereafter  be  employed  for  a  period  of 
ten  years  by  the  state  of  Xew  York,  as  an  instructor  in  any  col- 
lege,   school,    institute,    or    other    educational    institution,    main-  j 
tained  and  supported  by  the  state,  who  shall  have  been  employed 
for  the  term  of  thirty  years,  and  who  shall  have  attained  the  age 
of  seventy  years,  if  a  man,  and  sixty  years,  if  a  woman,  shall 
be  entitled,  upon  application  to  the  commissioner  of  education,  to] 
appointment  as  a  substitute  in  the  position  in  which  such  person 
shall  have  last  held   in  the  service  of  the  state  which  position 
as  substitute  such  person  shall  thereafter  hold  for  the  term  of  his 
or  her  life  and  shall  receive  as  compensation  not  more  than  $1,000 
or  less  than  $300  per  annum. 

This  law  will  impose  a  burden  of  an  amount  not  calculable  at 
present  upon  the  state.  Every  teacher  in  normal  schools,  agri- 
culture schools  and  the  teachers  in  the  various  state  institutions 
will  in  time  be  eligible  for  this  pension  and  it  is  but  a  step  to  pro- 
vide pensions  for  all  other  state  employees. 

Although  the  law  has  been  on  the  statute  books  but  a  few 
months  applications  have  already  been  filed  by  eleven  superannu- 
ated teachers  and  the  appropriation  requested  is  designed  to 
cover  the  compensation  of  two  of  these  at  $1,000  per  year;  three 
at  $500;  one  at  $425;  one  at  $375,  and  two  at  $300.  The  ages 
of  the  beeficiaries  range  from  61  years  to  80  years.  In  view  of  the 
enactment  by  the  legislature  of  1913  it  is  recommended  that  the 
appropriation  of  $6,000  be  made  and  it  is  also  recommended  that 
the  law  be  repealed.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

135  The   purpose   of   this    item    is   to   make   available   an    appropriation 

whereby  assistance  may  l>e  given  to  district  superintendents  in 
holding  teachers'  conferences.  These  conferences  will  result  in 
much  more  satisfactory  work  on  the  part  of  the  teachers  and  may 
be  maintained  for  a  much  less  appropriation  than  was  for- 
merly necessary  for  maintaining  teachers'  institutes.  During  the 
past  year  the  services  of  the  three  lecturers  at  farmers'  insti- 
tutes were  utilized  in  giving  assistance  to  district  superintend- 
ents at  such  conferences.  The  position  of  lecturer  at  farmers' 
institutes  was  discontinued  October  1  last  as  no  appropriation 
was  made  therefor. 

136  Provides  for  an  increase  of  $25,000  over  the  appropriation  for  this 

purpose  in  the  bill  of  1913.  The  item,  however,  is  merely  a 
restoration,  as  the  appropriation  bill  has  carried  this  item  at  $125,- 
000  for  some  years.  The  amount  requested  is  essential  if  the 
apportionment  for  the  professional  training  of  teachers  in  acad- 
emies, union   schools  and   cities,   is  to  be  made  pursuant   to   law. 


RECOMMENDATIONS  BY  THE  DEPARTMENT. 

135     TEACHERS'   CONFERENCES. 

An  appropriation  of  $10,000  is  requested  for  the  salaries  of  lecturers 
and  instructors  *'  whereby  assistance  may  be  given  to  district 
superintendents."  The  difficulty  experienced  by  the  department  of 
efficiency  and  economy  in  fulfilling  the  direction  of  the  legisla- 
ture in  procuring  information  regarding  the  cost  of  text  books,  in 
which  tin'  co-operation  of  the  district  superintendents  was  sought, 
is  very  convincing  evidence  that  the  officers  are  sadly  in  need  of 
instructions  and  assistance,  but  in  view  of  the  tremendous  finan- 
cial burden  imposed  u|>on  the  people  of  the  state  by  the  depart- 
ment of  education  it  is  unwise  to  create  any  new  bureaus,  and 
it  is  recommended  that  this  appropriation  be  not  allowed. 

13(i     TRAINING  OF  TEACHERS. 

An  appropriation  of  $125,000  is  requested  for  payment  to  acad- 
emies and  union  schools  for  the  ostensible  training  of  teachers. 
The  legislature  of  1913  appropriated  $100,000  for  this  purpose. 
The  legislature  of  1912,  however,  had  appropriated  $125,000,  and 
that  sum  of  money  was  distributed  proportionately  during  the 
fiscal  year  which  ended  September  30,  1913.  During  that  fiscal 
year  100  high  schools  and  academies  throughout  the  state  re- 
ceived $700  each,  a  total  of  $70,000,  and  the  remainder  of  the 
fund,  amounting  to  $55,000,  was  distributed  to  high  schools  in 
12  cities,  Xew  York  city  receiving  $45,688  of  the  amount.  An 
appropriation  of  $10,000,  similar  to  that  of  last  year,  will  merely 
result  in  the  proportion  being  slightly  reduced,  and  in  view  of 
the  tremendous  financial  burden  being  imposed  upon  the  people  of 
the  state  by  the  department  of  education,  it  is  recommended  that 
all  items  of  appropriation  lie  curtailed.

is  merelv  a  return  to  the  schools  of  this  amount. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

137-147     NORMAL  SCHOOLS. 

A  large  increase  in  appropriation  for  the  support  of  normal  schools 
is  requested.  An  increased  amount  is  requested  everv  year,  so 
regularly  that  it  has  all  the  appearance  of  a  habit.  In  view  of 
the  tremendous  financial  burden  being  imposed  upon  the  people 
of  the  state  by  the  department  of  education,  it  is  recommended 
that  an  appropriation  similar  to  that  of  1913.  aggregating,  for 
all  schools.  $525,000.  be  appropriated  this  year. 

14S  An  additional  appropriation  of  $25,000  for  the  maintenance  of  nor-

of  $10,000.  In  view  of  the  tremendous  financial  burden  l>eing 
imposed  upon  the  people  of  the  state  by  the  department  of  educa- 
tion, it  is  recommended  that  the  appropriation  lie  kept  to  the 
level  of  last  vear.  which  is  $15,000.

149  Provides  for  summer  sessions  in  three  of  the  state  normal  schools. 
The  appropriation  of  last  year  made  provision  for  a  summer 
session  at  one  normal  school.  There  are  about  twenty-five  thou- 
sand teachers  in  the  state  who  have  not  had  professional  train- 
ing. Many  of  those  who  have  received  professional  training 
would  welcome  the  opportunity  to  return  and  receive  special  in- 
struction in  certain  branches  during  the  summer  months.  In 
order  tn  make  this  possible  at  least  three  such  sessions  should  be 
maintained. 


150  The  appropriation  for  repairs  and  betterments  to  the  state  normal 
schools  was  decreased  last  year  by  $10,000.  The  request  in  this 
budget  for  (60,000  is  merely  for"  the  restoration  of  the  former 
appropriation.  Unusual  repairs  are  needed  at  many  of  these 
institutions.  The  state  fire  marshal  has  ordered  the  installation 
of  certain  equipment.  To  meet  these  needs  the  amount  requested 
is  conservative. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

SUMMER  SESSIONS. 

An  appropriation  of  $24,000  is  requested  in  the  appropriation  and 
supply  bills  this  year  for  classes  to  be  maintained  at  three 
schools.  The  sum  of  $4,000  was  appropriated  by  the  legislature 
of  101  :i  for  one  class.  Owing  to  the  tremendous  financial  burden 
imposed  upon  the  people  of  the  state  by  the  department  of  edu- 
cation through  its  success  in  obtaining  special  legislation  estab- 
lishing new  features  each  year  of  doubtful  benefit  to  the  people 
at  large,  it  is  necessary  to  curtail  the  appropriations  generally, 
and  it  is  recommended  that  the  same  appropriation  as  last  year 
for  one  summer  session,  costing  $4,000,  be  made. 

REPAIRS. 

Request  is  made  for  $60,000  for  repairs  and  betterments  of  state 
normal  schools.  This  is  not  a  proper  item  for  the  appropriation 
bill,  and  it  is  recommended  that  it  be  eliminated  and  such  repairs 
as  mav  be  necessarv  l>e  submitted  to  the  legislature  in  a  special 
bill.

151  Support  of  common  schools.  This  item  shows  an  increase  of 
$100,000  over  the  amount  appropriated  last  year.  This  increase 
is  automatic,  and  must  be  provided  in  order  that  the  apportion- 
ment to  the  schools  may  be  made  as  required  by  statute.  It 
includes  supervision,  district  and  teachers'  quotas,  and  appor- 
tionments to  general  industrial  and  trade  schools  and  schools  of 
agriculture,  mechanic  arts  and  homemaking,  as  provided  by 
articles  eighteen   and   twenty-two   of  the   education   law. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

SUPPORT  OF  COMMON  SCHOOLS. 

An  appropriation  of  $5,3.'50,000  is  requested,  which  is  $100,000  more 
than  provided  by  the  legislature  of  1913.  The  statement  by  the 
department  of  education  in  support  of  this  increase  is  that  "  the 
increase  is  automatic  and  must  be  provided."  No  money  can  be 
distributed  to  the  schools  which  is  not  appropriated  by  the  legis- 
lature, and  consequently  the  increase  can  not  be  automatic.  Such 
fund  a«  is  provided  by  the  legislature  is  to  be  distributed  propor- 
tionately. The  method  of  distribution  should  be  radically  revised. 
The  tremendous  burden  of  expense  imposed  upon  the  state  by  the 
department  of  education  by  its  inducing  successive  legislatures  to 
create  new  offices  tends  to  deprive  the  common  schools  of  the  at- 
tention which  should  be  given.  There  being  no  compulsory  appro- 
priation required  for  any  feature,  it  is  recommended  the  same 
amount  as  provided  in  1913  be  appropriated.

152,  153,   154,   155. 

This  requested   appropriation   restores  the   apportionments  to   aca- 
demic schools  to  the  former  basis  of  three  cents  per  day  for  each 
pupil    in   attendance,   and   will   be   simply   an   act  of   justice  — a 
reparation,  in  a  sense,  of  what  has  come  to  be  a  marked  injustice. 
The  long  established  wise  policy  of  aiding  and   encouraging  aca- 
demic as  well  as  elementary  education  can  need  no  defending.    Upon 
the  schools  of  both  classes  largely  depends  good  citizenship.     For- 
merly,   in    addition    to    its    liberal    appropriations    for    elementary 
education,    the   state    in   long-maintained    practice    aided   academic 
schools  by  apportionments  equal   to  about  three  cents  per  day  for 
each   of   their   pupils.      That   gave   to   them,   on   an   average,   about 
$4.50  a  year  for  each  pupil.     Such  aiding  was  salutary;   it  encour- 
aged and  helped  them   to  become   letter  schools,  and   it  stimulated 
efforts  to  keep  their  pupils  continuously  in  school. 

Later,  to  help  students  who  reside  in  districts  which  have  no 
academic  schools,  the  state  adopted  the  also  wise  and  generous  policy 
of  paying  $20  per  year  for  their  tuition,  when  attending  such 
schools  in   other  districts. 

But  instead  of  making  specific  additional  appropriations  suffi- 
cient to  pay  for  such  tuition  (of  what  are  commonly  called  "  for- 
eign scholars"),  the  cost  thereof  has  been  mainly  charged  upon  the 
general  academic  appropriations,  with  the  unhappy  result  that,  as 
the  number  of  such  scholars  increased  and  such  schools  multiplied, 
the  money  left  to  pay  the  intended  allowance  for  attendance  of 
general  academic  pupils  has  gradually  become  altogether  insuffi- 
cient, until  now  the  schools  are  receiving  therefor  even  less  than 
one  per  cent  per  day. 

The  time  has  come  to  recognize  such  a  discouraging  situation. 
which  it  is  not  believed  it  can  have  been  really  intended  should  be 
created.  The  unwisdom  of  giving  to  such  schools  such  inadequate 
aid  as  they  are  at  present  receiving  must  be  very  apparent,  and  the 
regents  now  ask  to  have  the  academic  appropriations  separated  for 
eacli  purpose,  and  that  the  allotment  for  attendance  money  be 
made  sufficient  each  year  to  give  to  the  academic  schools  their 
old-time  allowance  of,  at  least,  three  cents  per  day  for  each  of 
their  pupils. 

This  item  is  made  necessary  by  an  act  of  the  last  legislature  pro- 
viding for  the  establishment  of  temporary  or  camp  schools.  If 
the  statute  is  to  be  made  effectivs  it  will  require  an  appropria- 
tion for  this  purpose.  The  amount  requested  is  a  conservative 
estimate  to   provide  for  such   need. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

CITIES,   ACADEMIES,   ACADEMIC   DEPARTMENTS   AND

152-155 

Appropriation  requested  this  year  amounts  to  $1,200,000  as  com- 
pared with  the  appropriation  of  $600,000  as  made  by  the  legis- 
lature of  1913. 

It  is  interesting  to  read  the  explanation  printed  in  the  first 
column  on  this  page.  It  exposes  the  competition  between  the 
various  divisions  in  the  education  department  which  has  resulted 
in  building  up  the  tremendous  appropriations,  aggregating  now 
$7,000,000,  and  it  is  a  further  illustration  of  the  calm  unconcern 
with  which  an  additional  appropriation  of  more  than  half  a 
million  is  proposed.  The  officials  of  the  department  are  not  at  all 
unanimous  in  agreement  regarding  the  advisability  of  these  ap- 
propriations, and  the  sum  of  $600,000  provided  in  1913  is  ample 
for  all  necessary  purposes,  and  it  is  recommended  that  no  more 
be  appropriated  this  year. 
156     DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENTS. 

The  appropriation  of  $248,400  is  mandatory  for  the  salaries  of 
district  superintendents  and  $62,000  for  expenses  is  mandatory 
by  the  education  law  which  provides  that  there  shall  be  207  super- 
intendents at  a  salary  of  $1,200  each  and  also  provides  a  regular 
amount  of  expenses. 

The  last  legislature  imposed  upon  the  department  of  efficiency 
and  economy  a  burden  of  collecting  statistics  regarding  the  cost 
of  school  books.  It  was  found  by  the  department  that  the  elabo- 
rate machinery  of  school  superintendents  was  almost  helpless  to 
produce  its  simple  statistics  as  to  the  number  and  character  of 
school  books  in  use  within  every  district  and  it  has  been  utterly 
impossible  to  secure  even  responses  from  a  considerable  portion 
of  teachers  who  are  supposed  to  be  supervised  by  these  superin- 
tendents. 

It  is  difficult  to  understand  what  benefit  the  state  secures  from 
this  enormous  expenditure  of  public  funds  further  than  to  estab- 
lish a  very  elaborate  machine  whose  only  purpose  it  is  to  impose 
upon  the  state  projects  of  doubtful  benefit.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

159  The  amount  requested  in  this  item  for  the  maintenance  and  sup-

asking  for  appropriations  in  the  supply  bills,  even  if  relief  might 
be  had  opportunely  in  that  way.  The  fund  is  not  large  and  can 
be  used  only  under  the  directions  of  the  board  of  regents,  who 
can  be  trusted  to  duly  safeguard  it.

162     FOR   PROFESSIONAL   EXAMINATIONS. 

The  amounts  requested  for  the  expenses  connected  with  the  various 
professional  examinations  and  boards  of  examiners  are  merely 
appropriations  of  fees  which  have  already  been  received  by  this 
department  and   turned  over  to  the  state  treasurer. 

These  items  formerly  appeared  in  the  annual  supply  bill  and 
are  included  herewith  in  accordance  with  our  above  mentioned 
intention  to  keep  out  of  such  supply  hill  and  to  cover  all  our 
necessities   in   the   regular   appropriation   bill. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

159  INDIAN  SCHOOLS. 

An  appropriation  is  requested  of  $  14.0(H)  as  compared  with  the  usual 
provision  of  $10,000.  The  statement  is  made  that  the  excess 
amount  is  desired  for  betterment!  of  school  property. 

Appropriations  for  betterments  are  not  properly  to  be  included 
in  the  appropriation  bill,  but  it  should  be  presented  to  the  lcgis- 
lature  as  part  of  a  special  bill   for  this  purpose. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  sum  of  $10,000  for  maintenance  be 
the  amount  provided. 

160  A    new    appropriation    of    $10,000    to    be   expended    within    the   dis- 

cretion of  the  superintendent  is  requested  and  in  explanation  it 
is  said  that  "  easily  there  will  arise,  in  any  year,  unexpected  needs 
and  this  contingent  fund  is  requested  to  provide  for  such  demands, 
if  they  shall  occur,  and  thus  aid  our  purpose  to  refrain  altogether 
from  asking  for  appropriations  in  the  supply  bills,  even  if  relief 
might  lie  had  opportunely  in  that  way." 

The  language  in  support  of  this  request  indicates  a  buoyant 
nature  in  the  person  who  penned  the  description,  but  his  confi- 
dence in  the  future  is  not  sustained  by  the  experience  of  the  past. 

A  study  of  the  progress  of  the  upbuilding  of  appropriations  by  the 
educational  department  is  convincing  proof  that  an  appropriation 
or  fund  once  established  is  never  abandoned  or  forgotten,  and 
never  displaces  any  fund  which  has  become  an  established  insti-

COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

NEW  YORK  STATE  NAUTICAL  SCHOOL. 

There  is  no  comparison  by  which  to  criticise  the  budget  request 
for  the  nautical  school,  because  it  was  taken  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  state  by  a  special  act  of  the  legislature  of  1913. 

Tt  is,  therefore,  recommended  that  the  appropriation  as  requested 
be  provided,  in  the  itemized  form  submitted  herein.

This  appropriation  is  at  the  per  capita  rate  of  $350.  This  amount 
will  not  cover  the  cost,  the  balance  being  made  up  out  of  the  funds 
of  the  Institute.  It  is  impossible  to  say  what  amount  of  the  appro- 
priation now  in  force  will  be  unexpended  on  September  30,  1914,  as 
it  will  depend  upon  the  number  of  pupils  appointed  and  in  attend- 
ance. The  full  number  will  require  the  whole  amount;  a  less  number 
would  have  an  unexpended  balance. 

CATHOLIC  INSTITUTE  FOR  THE  BLIND. 

The  appropriation  of  $7,150,  requested  for  22  children,  is  pre-

ALBANY  HOME  SCHOOL  FOR  THE  ORAL  INSTRUCTION  OF 
THE  DEAF. 

The  appropriation  of  $10,500  asked  for  on  the  sheet  attached,  is 
for  the  care  and  maintenance  of  deaf  children  placed  in  the  above 
institution  for  the  purpose  of  educating  them. 

NEW  YORK  INSTITUTION  FOR  THE  INSTRUCTION  OF  THE 
DEAF   AND   DUMB. 

The  New  York  Institution  for  the  Instruction  of  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb  was  chartered  by  the  legislature  of  the  state  of  New  York  in 
the  year  1817.  Since  that  time  there  have  been  educated  4,597 
pupils.  Less  than  4  per  cent,  of  the  graduates  of  this  institution 
have  failed  to  be  self-supporting  men  and  women,  thereby  making 
satisfactory  return  to  the  state  for  the  expenditure. 

Every  known  instrument  or  aid  which  is  of  value  in  their  educa- 
tion is  used.  Speech  and  speech-reading  are  taught  to  all.  Educa- 
tion of  the  ear  where  there  is  a  remnant  of  hearing.  A  course  of 
study  equivalent  to  that  of  common  schools  and  academies.  A 
mechanical  trade  is  given  to  each  pupil.  Classes  in  cooking  for  the 
pupils.  Thorough  instruction  in  all  departments  of  art  a  special 
feature  of  this  institution.  A  completely  equipped  gymnasium 
under  the  supervision  of  a  physical  director  has  been  provided. 
Classes  in  band  and  field  music.    Military  drill  for  the  boys. 

To  carry  on  this  work  there  have  been  employed  54  teachers.  The 
cost  of  this  instruction  alone,  the  last  fiscal  year  was  $64,981.53. 

The  receipts  from  the  state  comptroller  were  $88,878.23;  from 
the  several  counties,  for  pupils  between  the  ages  of  5  and  12, 
$55,255.97;  from  pay  pupils,  $863.50  and  from  other  sources, 
$1,556.96,  making  a  total  of  $146,664.82. 

The  expenditures  were  $182,801.82. 

The  deficit  of  $36,247.16,  was  borrowed  from  the  real  estate  and 
building  fund.

RECOMMENDATION  BY  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND 
ECONOMY  ON  APPLICATION  OF  THE  INTERNATIONAL  SUN- 
SHINE SOCIETY. 

The  International  Sunshire  Society  makes  application  for  the 
sum  of  $12,775  for  the  support  and  instruction  of  35  blind  pupils 
at  a  per  capita  cost  of  $365  per  year.  By  chapter  60  of  the  laws  of 
1912,  which  amended  the  Education  Law,  the  International  Sun- 
shine Society,  Brooklyn  Home  for  Blind,  Crippled  and  Defective 
Children,  was  included  among  the  institutions  qualified  to  receive 
blind  babies  and  children  for  instruction  and  support,  and  in  1913 
an  appropriation  of  $10,950  was  made  for  the  support  and  instruc- 
tion of  30  pupils  at  $365   per  year. 

The  State  Board  of  Charities  has  begun  an  investigation  into  the 
management  and  conduct  of  the  Sunshine  Society  and  the  institution 
it  operates.  This  examination  is  not  yet  completed.  It  followed 
and  grew  out  of  an  examination  made  by  the  Board  of  Charities  of 
the  State  of  New  Jersey.     Charges  have  been  made  regarding  the 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

During  the  fiscal  year  which  ended  September  30,  1913,  the  total! 
population  including  state  and  county  pupils  was  270. 

Average  daily  attendance  was   228. 

Total   number   of  state  pupils,    115. 

The  total  cost  for  support  and  instruction  of  state  and  county 
pupils  was  $88,455.35  and  the  amount  received  from  the  state  was  j 
$37,371.50. 

The  annual  per  capita  cost  of  each  pupil  was  $387.96.     The  per  I 
capita  allowance  for  both  state  and  county  pupils  was  only  $325. 

LE  COUTEULX  ST.  MARY'S  INSTITUTION  FOR  THE  IMPROVED 
INSTRUCTION   OF   DEAF-MUTES. 

The  per  capita  cost  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  October  1,  1913,  was 
$341.56. 

The  estimated  cost  for  the  present  and  next  fiscal  years  is  $350. 

The  estimated  number  of  pupils  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  Oc-  ' 
tobcr  1,  1913,  is  84. 

NORTHERN  NEW  YORK  INSTITUTION  FOR  DEAF-MUTES 
AT  MALONE. 

The  whole  number  of  state  pupils  at  the  institution  during  the 
fiscal  year  which  ended  September  30,  1913,  was  57.  The  average 
per  capita  cost  was  $336.45.  This  cost,  however,  will  be  increased 
during  the  coming  year  owing  to  fire,  which  destroyed  the  main 
building  of  the  institution.  There  were  unusual  conditions  last  I 
year.  There  are  new  buildings  now  completed,  and  it  is  expected  | 
that  the  per  capita  cost  will  be  again  increased. 

ST.  JOSEPH'S  INSTITUTE  FOR  THE  IMPROVED  INSTRUCTION 
OF  DEAF-MUTES. 

Our  present  number  of  state  pupils  is  235. 

Of  the  county  pupils  now  on  roll  48  will  attain  the  age  of   12  j 
before  October   1,  1914,  and  40  others  before  the  expiration  of  the  j 
period  covered  by  the  appropriation;  but  as  several  state  pupils  will 
complete  their  terms  of  appointment  before  or  within  the  period  ] 
specified,  we  believe  the  appropriation  asked  for  will  suffice. 

WESTERN  NEW  YORK  INSTITUTION  FOR  DEAF-MUTES, 
ROCHESTER. 

The  per  capita  expenditure  of  the  institution  during  the  past  year  J 
for  tuition  and  maintenance  was  $354.95. 

It  is  reasonable  to  estimate  that  the  number  of  state  pupils  in 
attendance  for  the  fiscal  year   beginning   October   1,   1914,  will  bel 
115.     More  than  this  number  have  been  in  attendance  during  the! 
past  year. 

CENTRAL  NEW   YORK   INSTITUTION   FOR  DEAF-MUTES  AT 

ROME. 
The  average  number  of  state  pupils  supported  and  instructed  in  I 
this  institution  for  the  fiscal  year  1912-1913  was  55.  Six  countyl 
pupils  will  become  state  pupils  during  the  present  fiscal  year,  and! 
on  that  basis  it  is  estimated  that  an  appropriation  for  the  mainte-j 
nance  of  60  will  be  required  next  year.  During  the  fiscal  year  1910-1 
11  the  per  capita  cost  per  pupil  was  $358.77;  during  the  fiscal  yearj 
1911-12  the  per  capita  cost  was  $351.30;  during  the  fiscal  yearj 
1912-13  the  per  capita  cost  was  $337.17.  The  sum  requested  thisl 
year  is  $350  per  capita.

Thomas  Carmodv  had  written  an  opinion  to  the  counsel  for  the! 
institution  advising  him  that  children  under  12  years  could  notl 
legally  be  received  in  the  institution.  This  letter  is  to  be  found  ml

COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

maintain  a  home  for  blind  babies.  The  reasons  why  I  have 
reached  this  conclusion  may  be  stated  briefly  as  follows:  Section 
41  of  the  Membership  Corporations  Law  provides  that  if  a  certifi- 
cate of  such  a  corporation  specifies,  among  other  purposes,  the 
care  of  orphan,  pauper  or  destitute  children  or  the  bearding  or 
keeping  of  nursing  children,  the  written  approval  of  the  State 
Board  of  Charities  shall  be  endorsed  thereon  or  annexd  thereto 
before  it  is  Hied." 

"Section  482  of  the  Penal  Law,  among  other  things,  provides: 
'A  person  who  *  *  *  2.  Not  being  a  superintendent  of  the 
poor  or  a  superintendent  of  almshouses  or  an  institution  duly 
incorporated  for  the  purpose  without  first  having  obtained  a 
license  in  writing  so  to  do  from  the  board  of  health  of  the  city 
or  town  wherein  *  *  *  6uch  children  are  received,  boarded 
or  kept,  receives,  boards  or  keeps  any  nursing  children,  or  any 
children  under  the  age  of  twelve  years,  not  his  relatives,  appren- 
tices, pupils  or  wards,  without  legal  commitment  *  *  *  is 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor.  5.  Xo  institution  shall  be  incorporated 
for  any  of  the  purposes  provided  in  this  section,  except  with  the 
written  consent  and  approbation  of  a  justice  of  the  Supreme  Court 
upon  the  certificate  in  writing  of  the  State  Board  of  Charities, 
approving  of  the  organization  and  incorporation  of  such  institu- 
tion.' The  International  Sunshine  Society,  as  I  am  informed  by 
its  by-laws,  receives,  boards  and  keeps  children  under  the  age  of 
twelve  years;  that  is  to  say,  undertake  to  receive  at  its  homes 
children  from  birth  to  the  age  of  eight  through  the  establishment

of  the  Arthur  Home,  and  as  it  has  not  had  the  approval  of  the 
State  Board  of  Charities  so  to  do  violates  these  provisions  of  thr 
statute.  While  its  purposes  are  praiseworthy  and  the  work  it 
is  doing  commendable,  still  the  statute  not  having  been  complied 
with  the  corporation  is  without  this  power  to  keep  the  children 
under  the  age  of  twelve  years. 

"  I  have  not  omitted  examination  of  chapter  60  of  the  laws  of 
1012,  which  provides  in  substance,  that  blind  babies  and  children 
of  the  age  of  twelve  years  and  under  and  possessing  the  necessary 
qualifications  as  prescribed  in  the  Education  Law,  are  eligible 
to  appointment  as  state  pupils  in  one  of  the  homes  for  blind 
baliies  and  children  maintained  by  said  society,  and  that  appoint- 
ments are  authorized  to  be  made  by  the  commissioner  of  education. 
But  I  do  not  construe  this  section  as  extending  the  corporate 
purposes  of  this  corporation,  nor  do  I  think  that  the  legislature 
recognized  the  right  of  this  corporation  to  maintain  homes  for 
the  care  of  children  under  the  age  of  twelve  years  in  violation  of 
section  41  of  the  Membership  Corporations  Law,  and  section  482 
of  the  Penal  Law." 

The  State  Board  of  Charities  baa  not  endorsed  or  countersigned 
the  certificate  of  either  of  the  institutions  operated  by  the  Inter- 
national Sunshine  Society  and  therefore  has  not  given  its  consent 
or  approval  to  the  proposition  to  legalize  this  institution  as  a  place 
for  commitment. 

It  being  clearly  illegal  for  the  International  Sunshine  Society  to 
receive  any  pupils,  it  is  recommended  that  no  appropriation  be  made.

appropriation  to  $20,000  for  this  year  owing  to  the  fact  that  we 
had  an  unexpended  balance  of  the  appropriation  of  the  preceding 
year.  The  appropriation  for  1012  for  this  purpose  was  $38,000, 
and  until  the  present  year  had  not  been  less  than  $35,000  for  a 
number  of  years. 


NURSERY  AND  BEE  INSPECTION,  ETC.,  $35,000. 

In  this  item  we  seek  to  bring  into  one  item  what  has  heretofore 
been  carried  under  two  separate  items.  The  appropriation  bill  of 
1913  appropriated  $20,000  for  nursery  and  bee  inspection,  and 
the  supply  bill  $15,000  for  the  purpose  of  eradicating  brown-tail 
moth,  gypsy  moth,  etc.  I  desire  to  bring  these  two  items  into 
one  item  in  the  general  appropriation  bill,  and  ask  for  nothing 
for  this  purpose  in  the  supply  bill. 


DAIRY  PRODUCTS,  ETC.,  $60,000. 

Is  the  same  amount  appropriated  last  year,  $35,000  being  in  the 
general  appropriation  bill  and  $25,000  in  the  supply  bill. 


$10,000  — FOR  DEMONSTRATION  OF  AGRICULTURAL  RE- 
SOURCES, ETC. 

Was  appropriated  in  the  supply  of  1913,  and  I  desire  to  have  it 
included  in  the  general  appropriation  bill  of  this  year. 

FARM  BUREAUS,  $25,000. 

Was  appropriated  by  special  act  of  the  legislature  last  year. 

The  entire  amount  does  not  exceed  the  amount  appropriated  for  this 
department  last  year  in  the  appropriation,  supply  and  special 
bills.  No  appropriation  for  this  department  is  sought  through 
the  supply  bill  this  year,  all  the  funds  provided  for  the  support 
of  this  department  being  included  in  the  estimate  for  the  general 
appropriation  bill;  the  only  item  in  the  supply  bill  relating  to 
this  department  is  the  appropriation  of  $25,000  to  reimburse 
county  and  town  agricultural  societies,  which  is  administered 
through  this  department  and  distributed  to  the  town  and  county 
agricultural  societies  as  provided  by  law. 

All  the  items  included  in  the  estimate,  except  those  to  which  refer- 
ence is  heretofore  specifically  made,  are  the  same  as  made  last 
year.  I  would  be  pleased  to  furnish  detailed  information  as  to 
the  necessity  of  these  items  if  desired.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

This  item  continues  the  appropriations  made  in  the  supply  bill  for 
1913-14.  It  has  in  previous  years  been  included  in  the  annual 
appropriation  bill  and  belongs  there.  There  remains  in  the  state 
treasury,  unused  from  the  appropriation  of  1912u-13  for  similar 
purposes,  a  sufficient  sum,  with  the  above  mentioned  appropriation 
in  the  annual  supply  bill,  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  institution  until 
the  beginning  of  the  next  fiscal  year,  so  that  there  is  no  necessity 
for  including  the  item  in  the  supply  bill  for  1914-15. 

The  amount  appropriated  for  this  item  is  the  same  as  for  that  in 
the  appropriation  bill  for  1913-14,  but  it  is  thought  best  to  include 
another  line  of  investigation  for  which  present  demand  is  quite 
urgent.  Therefore,  the  wording  is  broadened  to  include  investiga- 
tion of  garden  and  truck  crops. 

The  remaining  items,  3  to  7,  are  as  included  in  the  appropriation 
bill  for  the  fiscal  year  1913-14,  and  are  necessary  for  the  main- 
tenance of  the  regular  activities  of  this  institution. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

The  method  in  vogue  for  appropriating  money  to  the  agricultural 
experiment  station  at  Geneva  is  somewhat  unusual,  and  it  is  difficult 
to  itemize  the  expenses  under  the  various  appropriation  headings, 
'  because  such  general  expenses  as  light,  postage,  stationery  and  other 
overhead  charges  as  well  as  unskilled  labor  have  been  apportioned 
to  and  distributed  among  the  different  special  funds  mentioned  in 
the  appropriation  bill.  For  example,  an  analysis  of  the  fund  for 
inspection  of  fertilizers,  feeding  stuffs,  etc.,  indicates  that  there  are 
seven  chemists  and  botanists  employed  in  the  laboratory  on  this 
work,  and  a  proportion  of  the  general  overhead  charge  is  also  carried 
in  this  item.  A  similar  condition  exists  in  all  of  the  other  items 
described  as  special  investigations  of  field  and  orchard  and  grape 
culture,  etc. 

Inasmuch  as  the  institution  is  a  state  charge  and  any  expense  is 
paid  from  state  funds,  it  would  be  much  better  and  clearer  if  the 
official  salaries,  graded  salaries,  labor  charges  and  other  expenses 
of  maintenance,  were  set  up  in  the  usual  and  customary  form  in 
practice  in  other  state  departments.  This  report  has  been  prepared 
in  the  itemized  form  suggested.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 

NEW  YORK  STATE  COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE  AT  CORNELL 
UNIVERSITY,  ITHACA,  N.  Y. 

Last  year  the  board  of  trustees  requested  of  the  legislature  the 
sum  of  $530,000  for  maintenance,  equipment  and  necessary  mate- 
rials for  conducting  the  College  of  Agriculture,  of  which  not  to 
exceed  $50,000  might  be  used  for  providing  instruction  in  physics, 
chemistry,  etc.,  to  increased  number  of  students  in  the  College  of 
Agriculture.  The  legislature,  however,  divided  the  appropriation, 
placing  $450,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  and  items  in  the  supply 
bill  sufficient  to  make  up  the  $530,000. 

We  now  request  that  all  items  of  regular  and  continuing  mainte- 
nance be  placed  in  the  appropriation  bill. 

Inasmuch  as  all  the  necessities  of  maintenance  are  on  a  similar 
basis  and  operate  throughout  the  year  and  are  needed  continuously, 
it  is  desirable  that  they  be  not  divided  into  separate  appropria- 
tions. 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 
NEW  YORK  STATE  COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE  AT  CORNELL. 

An  appropriation  of  $530,000  is  requested  in  uniteniized  form 
in  one  lump  sum. 

An  itemized  statement  of  the  manner  in  which  this  appropria- 
tion has  been  expended,  which  comprises  a  list  of  the  instructors  and 
other  employees  of  the  institution,  and  the  various  subdivisions  in 
which  the  maintenance  has  been  divided  has  been  secured  and  it  is 
recommended  that  the  appropriation  in  the  appropriation  bill  this 
year  l>e  in  the  itemized  form  as  recommended  in  this  report. 

The  college  authorities  earnestly  contend,  and  undoubtedly  be- 
lieve that  an  itemized  appropriation  will  seriously  hamper  the  work 
of  the  college  and  curtail  its  usefulness,  but  this  argument  is  the 
usual  and  customary  one  advanced  by  all  who  have  had  the  control 
and  direction  of  large  sums  and  jh  not  justified  by  experience. 

It  is  customary  for  all  employees,  whether  provisional  or  clerical, 
to  receive  a  salary  computed  upon  a  yearly  basis  and  the  segrega- 
tion of  these  items,  which  constitute  the  principal  part  of  the 
appropriation,  is  surely  not  difficult. 

There  must  undoubtedly  be  one  fund  of  considerable  amount  which 
is  so  worded  that  the  directors  of  the  institution  may  have  some 
liberty  in  expenditure  to  provide  for  contingencies  which  cannot 
he  anticipated  at  the  time  of  budget  making,  but  this  will,  in  time, 
be  reduced  to  smaller  amounts  as  experience  in  handling  segregated 
funds  is  gained. 

We  earnestly  recommend  that  at  least  a  beginning  be  made,  this 
year  in  dividing  this  huge  sum  of  money  into  smaller  items.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY   DEPARTMENT.

SITY, ITHACA,   N.  Y. 
The  small  increase  in  the  maintenance  requested  for  the  year  1914- 
1915  is  to  cover  the  increased  expense  due  to  the  natural  growth  of 
the  college  work.     The  students  are  increasing  in  numbers  and  the 
demands   of   veterinarians    and   stock   owners   for   assistance    in   the 
diagnosis  of  certain  diseases  and  for  tuberculin,   mallcin.   anthrax 
vaccine,   etc.,   are   greater   every  year.     To   meet   these,    it   will   he 
necessary  ta  have  1  or  2  additional  assistants  and  helpers. 

COMMENT  BY   DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 
STATE  VETERINARY  COLLEGE. 

The  college  makes  a  request  for  a  lump  sum  appropriation  as 
usual    amounting   to    $6".i>00. 

The  managers  and  directors  of  the  school  are  of  the  opinion  that 
this  sum  cannot  he  segregated  without  serious  interference  with 
•the  work,  hut  all  of  that  part  that  is  consumed  by  salaries  of  in- 
structors and  employees  should  l>e  as  easy  to  separate  into  items 
as   anv  other  position   in   State  Departments. 

A  list  of  all  positions  and  expenses  has  been  secured  and  it  is 
recommended  that  the  appropriation  be  made  in  the  itemized  form 
presented  herewith.

EXPLANATORY    NOTES    BY    ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S    OFFICE. 
NATIONAL  GUARD. 

Provides  for  five  assistants  to  the  adjutant-general  and  is  a  statu- 
tory allowance  under  section  18  of  the  Military  Law.  as  amended 
by  chapter  3,  Laws  of  1913. 

Provides  for  two  additional  employees  urgently  needed  to  enable 
this  office  to  promptly  and  efficiently  perform  duties  imposed  by 
law  and  regulations  of  the  State  and  requirements  of  the  War 
Department. 

An  increase  of  $2,570  over  appropriation  of  1013  is  desired  to 
enable  the  adjutant-general  to  revise  list  of  graded  employees 
and  fix  salaries,  commensurate,  in  his  judgment,  with  duties  per- 
formed. 

Same  allowance  was  made  by  Legislature  of   1913. 

An  increase  of  $50,000  over  amount  appropriated  by  Legislature  of 
1913  is  desired  for  the  reason  that  scheme  of  field  service  outlined 
by  the  Division  Commander  for  the  ensuing  season,  in  addition 
to  items  which  may  properly  be  considered  as  fixed  charges,  will 
require  enlarged  appropriation. 

This  shows  a  slight  reduction,  is  a  statutory  allowance  and  amount 
desired  will  be  sufficient  for  the  purpose. 

An  increase  of  $25,000  is  desired.  These  allowances  are  fixed  by 
statute  and  are  based  on  returns  to  be  filed  at  the  end  of  the  year. 
Recent  amendments  to  the  Military  Law,  granting  allowances 
for  horse  hire  for  infantry  and  field  artillery  organizations  and 
formation  of  five  batteries  of  field  artillery  and  one  troop  of 
cavalry  with  their  personnel,  will  render  additional  appropriation 
necessary. 

This  item  is  designed  to  provide  means  for  emergent  expense  to  be 
availed  of  only  in  case  of  necessity. 


COMMENT  BY   DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY   AND  ECONOMY. 
NATIONAL  GUARD. 

The  National  Guard  requests  appropriations  of  State  funds  in 
what  appears  to  be  a  more  or  less  itemized  form,  but  this  prac- 
tice is  deceptive,  every  item  interlocking  so  that  for  all  practical 
purposes  it  is  merely  one  huge  fund  of  one  half  million  dollars, 
which  the  managers  of  the  National  Guard  can  utilize  for  almost 
any  purpose  whatsoever. 

The  expense  of  the  National  Guard  is  very  much  too  high. 
The  appropriations  have  been  made  without  knowledge  on  the  part 
of  the  legislature  or  executive  regarding  the  practical  benefits 
to  be  obtained  from  the  expenditure. 

Last  year  an  appropriation  of  doubtful  utility,  for  which  the 
Committee  of  Tnquiry  recommended  $18,000  was  increased  by 
the  personal  influence  of  an  officer  of  the.  Naval  Militia  with 
the  executive  to  $34,000.  The  sum  of  $18,000,  recommended  by 
the  Committee  of  Inquiry  was,  in  itself  $5,000  higher  than  that 
awarded  by  the  legislature  of  1912. 

Nearly  every  item  of  the  National  Guard  Association  has  been 
increased  in  recent  years  to  a  startling  amount.  Without  in  any 
wa-s  denying  the  benefit  to  the  State  of  a  well-drilled  body  of 
citizen  soldiers,  It  is  recommended  that  the  legislature  eliminate 
the  fads  and  fancy  work  from  the  Guard  and  appropriate  only 
sufficient  money  to  maintain  it  on  a  business  basis. 

The  various  items  submitted  as  requests  have  been  cut  only 
slightly  to  the  amounts  recommended  for  appropriation,  both  in 
the  appropriation  bill  and  supply  bill,  in  this  report,  and  are 
entirely  adequate  for  the  necessities  of  the  Guard. 

It  is  certain  that  the  managers  of  the  National  Guard  will 
spend  $5,000,000  instead  of  $500,000  if  the  legislature  will  make 
the  appropriation  and  the  requests  in  no  way  represent  the  ac- 
tual necessities.

3  -An  increase  of  $3,000  is  desired  over  appropriation  of  1913  to  pro- 

vide for  participation  of  entire  strength  of  the  Naval  Militia 
aboard  seagoing  vessels  of  the  United  States  navy.  The  appropri- 
ations of  1913  were  not  sufficient  to  permit  the  Naval  Militia 
to  participate  in  these  cruises  at  full  strength. 

4  An   increase  of   $3,000  is   desired  to  cover  general  expense  of   the 

Naval  Militia,  and  considering  increase  in  strength  of  the  Naval 
Militia,  it  is  deemed  a  reasonable  amount.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  PRISON    DEPARTMENT. 

13  It  is  expected  that  the  new  cell  block  at  Great  Meadow  prison  will 

be  ready  for  occupancy  by  October  1,  1914.  This  will  necessitate 
a  readjustment  of  the  number  of  prisoners  in  the  4  prisons  nearly 
doubling  the  population  of  Great  Meadow  and  reducing  the  popu- 
lation of  the  other  3  prisons. 
The  amounts  requested  by  the  prisons  as  submitted  to  the  depart- 
ment aggregate  $978,576.  The  department  estimate  has  reduced 
this  amount  to  $918,700  including  the  Bertillon  department  main- 
tained from  this  fund.  The  amount  requested  is  fixed  at  a  total 
of  $900,000  only,  which  is  very  low  and  may  not  be  found  suffi- 
cient. It  is  placed  at  this  amount,  however,  in  the  hope  that  In- 
strict  economy  the  expenditures  may  b«  kept  within  the  amount 
requested.  In  the  manner  in  which  appropriation  is  shown  the 
form  used  in  chapter  792.  laws  of  1913,  is  followed  in  showing 
direct  appropriation  of  $760,000  onlv,  and  authorization  to  use 
from   the  capital   fund   $140,000   additional. 

14  The  amount  requested  is  $2,012.88  in  excess  of  amount  expended  for 

fiscal  year  1912-13.  The  increase  is  based  on  an  increase  in  the 
cost  of  provisions  already  in  effect,  to  provide  for  extra  provisions 
on  account  of  regular  Sunday  dinners  recently  inaugurated  and 
some  slight  increase  in  population. 

STATE  FARM  FOR  WOMEN  AT  VALATIE. 

15  This  institution  has  for  a  part  of  the  last  fiscal  year  had  a  few 

prisoners  transferred  from  the  state  prisons.  The  capacity  with 
present  buildings  is  86.  It  is  contemplated  increasing  the  number 
to  the  maximum  capacity  or  using  it  for  women  as  intended.  If 
either  is  done  with  salaries  of  officers  and  employees,  provisions, 
clothing  and  other  necessary  expenses  it  is  believed  approximately 
amount  requested  will  be  needed. 

The  State  Farm  for  Women  Misdemeanants  at  Valatie  was 
established  through  the  efforts  of  the  Women's  Prison  Association 
with  the  object  of  employing  in  outdoor  occupations  the  women 
of  this  class,  who  having  reached  the  age  of  thirty  years  have 
proved  by  repeated  arrests  and  commitment  to  Correctional 
Institutions  that  they   are  incapable  of  self-control. 

In  the  State  of  New  York  there  are  at  the  present  time  over 
fifteen  hundred  women  delinquents  past  thirty  years  of  age,  whose 
arrests  run  from  twenty  to  three  hundred  times. 

The  Report  of  the  Board  of  Magistrates  of  the  First  Judicial 
District  for  the  year  1911  states  that  2.127  women  repeaters  had 
their  fingerprints  taken  from  two  to  eight  times  in  the  Night 
Court  during  that  year.  To  show  how  fast  these  repeaters  are 
detected  through  the  fingerprint  system,  the  report  states  that 
in  January,  1911.  out  of  340  women  arrested  on  charge  of  solicit- 
ing, 62,  or  less  than  one-fifth,  were  repeaters,  that  is.  had  been 
arrested  before,  while  in  August  of  that  year  out  of  553  women 
subjected  to  the  fingerprint  system  276.  were  first  offenders  and 
277,  were  repeaters,  that  is  over  one-half.  Of  the  entire  number 
of  women  convicted  on  all  charges  in  the  Magistrates  Court  over 
one-fourth  were  between  the  ages  of  thirty  any  forty  years  and 
nearlti  one-fourth  were  over  forty  years  old.  The  Report  of  the 
Board  of  Magistrates  for  1912.  gives  a  total  number  of  women 
convicted  of  soliciting  as  5.728  and  2.282  of  these  were  repeaters. 
670  of  whom  had  been  arrested  from  five  to  thirteen  times  during 
the  year  and  over  one-fourth  of  these  were  over  thirty  years  of 
age. 

The  cost  of  arrest,  arraignment  and  conviction  in  the  city  of  New 
York  is  not  less  than  $15  per  capita,  and  the  670  women  over 
thirty  years  of  age  who  had  been  arrested  from  five  to  thirteen 


COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 

13     GENERAL   MAINTENANCE   FUND   FOR   SING   SING,   AUBURN, 
CLINTON  AND  GREAT  MEADOW. 

The  combined  expenditures  of  these  four  institutions  and  the  Ber- 
tillon measurement  bureau  for  the  fiscal  vear  1912-1913,  was 
$821,991.53. 

The  estimated  expenditures  for  the  current  year  are  $852,650, 
and  the  department  asks  for  a  still  further  increase  for  the  fiscal 
year  beginning  the  1st  of  next  October,  to  $918,700.  No  satis- 
factory explanation  has  been  offered  to  account  for  this  tremen- 
dous increase  year  by  year. 

The  opening  of  Great  Meadow  prison  will  undoubtedly  produce 
some  changes  bxit  should  not  make  such  a  tremendous  difference 
as  is  anticipated. 

The  schedule  covering  these  four  prisons  is  based  upon  the  esti- 
mated expenditures  of  this  present  year.  It  is  considered  ju- 
dicious not  to  itemize  too  closely,  because  in  some  respects  these 
four  prisons  are  operated  as  one,  and  consequently  a  miscellaneous 
or  contingent  fund  is  provided.  The  following  schedule  repre- 
sents the  actual  amounts  now  being  expended  during  the  present 
fiscal  year:

EXPLANATORY   NOTES   BY    PRISON    DEPARTMENT. 

times  cost  the  taxpayers  $10,050,  and  were  in  no  way  benefited  or 
reformed  through  this  process.  The  cost  per  capita,  for  support 
at  the  workhouse  is  not  less  than  35  cents  a  day,  the  average 
cost  per  capita,  in  county  jails  is  $2.50  a  week. 
The  Legislature  of  1913,  enacted  a  law  providing  for  the  commit- 
ment to  the  workhouse  of  all  offenders  under  the  Tenement  House 
Act.  The  consequence  has  been  that  the  workhouse  became  so 
overcrowded  that  it  was  necessary  to  transfer  one  hundred  of 
these  offenders  to  Queens  county  jail,  yet  from  four  to  six  women 
were  crowded  into  workhouse  cells  7  by  10  by  12  feet,  regardless 
of  age,  offense  or  physical  conditions. 
The  fact  that  women  delinquents  whether  charged  with  disorderly 
conduct  or  intoxication  are  as  proven  by  their  repeated  convic- 
tion incapable  of  self-control,  that  large  numbers  of  them  when 
out  of  prison  loiter  in  our  streets,  sit  in  our  public  parks  or 
seek  shelter  in  lodging  houses  where  under  most  unsanitary  con- 
ditions they  become  a  menace  to  public  health  and  morals  and 
that  when  in  the  workhouse  and  jails  they  are  closely  associated, 
regardless  of  age,  character  or  physical  condition  makes  it  im- 
perative, that  both  as  a  relief  to  the  taxpayer  and  In  the  interest 
of  the  women  themselves  different  methods  should  be  adopted 
with  them.  Social  ostracism  with  this  class  is  unavoidable. 
They  are  unsafe  to  take  in  any  home  or  employ  in  any  industry. 
The  vast  majority  are  perfectly  capable  of  self-support  under 
supervision  and  large  numbers  could  be  made  fit  to  return  to 
society  under  carefully  planned  and  supervised  methods  of  em- 
ployment, which  while  rendering  themselves  self-supporting  sub- 
jects them  to  good  morals,  influences,  personal  study  and  scien- 
tific treatment. 
An  appropriation  of  $100,000  was  obtained  in  1908  for  the  pur- 
pose of  purchasing  a  suitable  farm  and  beginning  operations 
thereon.  A  Committee  was  appointed  by  Governor  Hughes  to 
select  a  site.  Eighteen  months  elapsed  before  the  Committee 
purchased  the  farm  at  Valatie,  a  farm  consisting  of  297  acres  at 
a  cost  of  $12,500.  About  $11,500  was  spent  by  the  Commission 
and  Superintendent  of  Prisons  in  expenses,  caretakers,  etc., 
leaving  $66,400  for  building  purposes. 
Two  cottages,  each  two  full  stories  in  height,  and  containing  twenty- 
eight  rooms  for  inmates,  one  room  for  each  matron,  an  office, 
reception  room,  a  sitting  room  for  inmates,  dining  room,  kitchen, 
pantries,  etc.,  a  total  of  thirty-four  rooms  all  told,  has  been 
erected  at  a  cost  of  $31,500  per  cottage.  These  cottages  are  of 
cement,  re-inforced  with  brick  and  have  tiled  roofs,  these  being 
it  is  true  more  expensive  but  also  more  durable  than  slate. 
They  have  the  usual  hardwood  floors  supplied  in  all  institutions 
under  State  control  and  are  lighted  bv  electricity,  that  being 
the  safest  and  cheapest  method  of  lighting  and  particularly 
necessary  in  cases  where  inmates  are  liable  to  become  unman- 
ageable. The  inside  work  is  plain  to  the  verge  of  barrenness  as 
it  should  be. 
The  farm  is  at  present  stocked  with  cattle,  hogs  and  chickens.  To 
abandon  or  discontinue  the  work  is  not  only  a  mistake  but  an 
injury  to  all  concerned. 
We  ask  now  for  an  appropriation  of  $15,000  deficiency.  $30,000 
for  furnishing  and  maintenance  during  the  coming  year  and  an 
appropriation  of  $100,000  for  the  further  erection  oif  cottages. 

DANNEMORA  STATE  HOSPITAL  FOR  INSANE  CONVICTS. 

16  This  amount,  requested  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914, 

and  ending  September  30,  1915,  is  based  on  an  average  daily 
population  of  612.  This  estimate  is  conservative.  The  average  daily 
population  for  the  year  would  unquestionably  exceed  612  were  we 
in  position  to  continue  to  take  all  the  insane  from  the  various 
penal  institutions.  It  is  a  fact,  however,  that  as  no  additional 
buildings  can  be  provided  and  limit  the  admission  to  the  more 
acute  cases.  Using  this  estimated  daily  average  population  of 
612,  at  a  per  capita  cost  of  $245,  the  actual  amount  required  would 
be  $149,940. 

The  slight  increase  in  the  estimated  per  capita  cost  over  that 
of  the  year  just  ended,  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  hospital  was 
without  a  1st  assistant  physician  and  medical  interne  for  several 
months  of  the  year.  A  slight  additional  allowance  was  also  made 
in  classifications  where  the  expenses  were  unusually  low  during 
the  past  year. 

MATTEAWAN  STATE  HOSPITALS  FOR  INSANE  CRIMINALS. 

17  The  amount  allowed  by  the  last  legislature  for  general  maintenance 

for  the  fiscal  year  1913-14  was  $190,000,  which  was  $10,000  less 
than  the  amount  asked  for,  and  $4,000  less  than  the  amount  avail- 
able for  the  fiscal  year  1912-13.  The  new  wage  schedule  at  this 
hospital  became  effective  April  1,  1913,  and  the  original  appropria-

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  PRISON    DEPARTMENT. 

tion  of  $100,000  for  1912-13  was  supplemented  by  a  deficiency 
appropriation  of  $4,000  to  cover  the  increase  in  wage  schedule, 
whereas  the  legislature  only  allowed  $190,000  for  the  present  year 
and  made  no  provision  for  the  $8,500  increase  in  wages  of  subor- 
dinate employees.  The  per  capita  cost  during  the  fiscal  year 
just  closed  was  $225.51,  which  was  more  than  $10  lower  than  the 
preceding  year  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  commissary  supplies  were 
higher,  and  that  the  new  wage  schedule  was  in  effect  for  G  months. 
The  general  expansion  of  the  hospital  and  corresponding  increase 
in  expenditures  for  fuel,  lighting,  general  supplies,  and  repairs 
tend  to  increase  our  budget  slightly;  but  the  chief  increase  cost 
is  for  wages,  commissary  supplies  and  clothing.  Therefore,  to 
maintain  the  proper  standard  of  care  at  this  hospital,  an  appro- 
priation of  $210,000  is  requested.

An  increase  of  $75,000  over  the  amount  appropriated  in  last  year's 
appropriation  bill,  which  was  reduced  to  that  amount,  owing  to  the 
large  balance  available  at  that  time.  The  payments  for  this  purpose

COMMENT   OF  DEPARTMENT   OF  EFFICIENCY  AND   ECONOMY    ON   STATE   HOSPITALS   FOR    THE   INSANE. 


The  method  of  computing  appropriations  for  the  State  Hos- 
pitals for  the  Insane  has  been  as  complicated  as  could  be  devised, 
and  difficult  to  understand. 

In  the  institutions  there  are  many  patients  whose  board  is 
paid  by  relatives.  The  total  amount  of  revenue  received  from 
such  board  moneys  amounts  annually  to  approximately  $550,000. 

In  deciding  upon  the  appropriations  to  be  requested  for  the 
various  institutions,  the  cost  of  operation  during  the  fiscal  year 
is  computed,  and  from  that  cost  is  deducted  the  amount  received 
in  board  money,  and  the  total  in  the  appropriation  bill  represents 
the  difference. 

The  first  year  that  this  method  was  adopted,  no  appropriation 
of  the  board  money  was  made.  That  was  left  until  the  following 
year  to  be  provided  in  the  annual  Supply  Bill.  Thus,  the  con- 
dition now  is  established  that  the  funds  provided  in  the  annual 
appropriation    bill    each    year    are    approximately    $550,000    less 


than  that  computed  to  be  actually  necessary  to  operate  these 
institutions,  and  the  succeeding  legislature  is  expected  to  provide 
the  deficiency  in  the  Supply  Bill  from  the  board  money  collected, 
to  help  out  for  the  fiscal  year  which  should  have  been  covered 
by  the  general  appropriation  bill. 

The  foregoing  schedules  contain  what  is  estimated  to  be  the 
full  amount  necessary  to  operate  the  hospitals  during  the  next 
fiscal  year.  In  addition  to  this  amount  the  sum  of  $600,000  will 
be  required  to  be  provided  in  the  supply  bill  to  provide  for  the 
deficiencies  in  the  appropriation  last  year  in  which  that  amount 
was  deducted  from  the  several  amounts  required  for  the  main- 
tenance of  the  hospitals. 

If  these  amounts  should  be  appropriated  this  year  it  would 
eliminate  from  future  supply  bills  one  of  the  largest  single 
items.

15  SPECIAL  INSPECTORS. 

16  INSPECTOR   OF  MACHINERY. 

These  two  items  were  passed  in  the  appropriation  bill  by  the  legis- 
lature of  1913,  but  were  vetoed  by  the  governor  as  unnecessary. 
It  appears,  however,  that  they  were  paid  from  an  appropriation 
for  office  expenses  which  contained  the  language,  "  Temporary, 
clerical  and  expert  service."  Inasmuch  as  these  employees  are 
at  present  in  the  staff,  it  is  recommended  that  appropriation 
be  made  under  the  proper  heading,  and  that  the  office  expense 
item  be  reduced  to  the  sum  of  $3,000,  and  the  language  which 
permits  payment  to  employees  be  eliminated. 
20     SEVENTH  GRADE,  FOUR  EMPLOYEES,  $6,ooo. 

This   item  affords  an   illustration  of  the  possibilities  contained   in 
unitemized    appropriations    by    grades.      The    legislature)    appro- 


priated the  sum  of  $6,000  for  four  employees  of  the  seventh 
grade.  In  the  same  act,  the  legislature  also  appropriated  $3,000 
for  the  positions  of  general  inspector  and  inspector  of  cattle. 
The  latter  two  positions,  which  appeared  under  their  titles  in 
the  appropriation  bill,  were  vetoed  by  the  governor  as  unneces- 
sary. The  department,  however,  created  the  positions,  notwith- 
standing the  veto,  and  money  for  payment  was  found  under 
this  lump  sum  appropriation  for  the  "  Seventh  Grade,  Four 
Employees."  Had  the  appropriation  been  made  specifically  for 
positions  by  title,  as  recommended  in  this  bill,  there  could 
have  l>een  no  manipulation.  Inasmuch  as  these  men  are  in  the 
staff,  it  is  recommended  that  the  appropriation  be  made  under 
the  proper  title.

COMMENT  BY  DEPARTMENT  OF  EFFICIENCY  AND  ECONOMY. 


18  Wages  of  employees. 

19  Furniture,  repairs,  etc. 

These  2  items  aggregate  $223,325  for  miscellaneous  expendi- 
tures in  the  care  of  public  buildings.  An  analysis  of  these 
expenditures  has  been  secured  by  the  Department  of  Efficiency 
and  Economy,  and  indicates  that  itemized  appropriations  can  be 
made.  The  items  set  down  in  this  proposed  bill  approximate  the 
actual  expenditures  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913. 

20  Medical  care  of  state  employees.  $5,000. 

This  appropriation  was  originally  established  to  provide  medical 
and  surgical  care  for  employees  receiving  small  wages  who  might 
be  injured  in  the  performance  of  their  duties.  The  purpose  of 
the   appropriation    has   been    diverted    so   that   employees    in    all 


21 

22 
23 


departments,  some  receiving  high  rates  of  wages,  have  been  the 
beneficiaries.  There  is  no  good  reason  why  a  select  few  of  the 
state  employees  should  have  their  expenses  of  illness  paid  by  the 
state  and  the  great  majority  be  compelled  to  pay  their  own 
expenses.  It  is  recommended  that  the  wording  of  the  item  be 
changed  so  that  only  those  who  are  injured  in  the  performance 
of   their  duties  on   public   buildings   be   admitted   to   the   benefits. 

Painting  and  repairs. 

Plumbing  and   drainage. 

Fire  protection. 

No  special  appropriations  for  any  of  these  purposes  need  to  be 
made  if  the  itemized  appropriations  as  included  in  items  18  and 
19    are  put    into   effect.

COMMENT  BY  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF   EFFICIENCY 
AND  ECONOMY. 

The  Conservation  Department  is  three  departments  in  one.  It 
is  operated  as  three  separate  divisions,  each  division  under  the 
direction  and  charge  of  a  commissioner  and  deputy  and  each  divi- 
sion has  functions  and  duties  entirely  distinct  from  the  other 
divisions. 

The  proper  method  of  appropriations  for  the  Conservation 
Department  is  that  the  items  should  be  arranged  under  the  head 
of  the  division  to  which  they  belong  and  the  appropriation  for 
the  salaries  of  Commissioners  and  Deputies  should  each  be  in 
its  proper  division. 

The  bill  contained  in  this  report  is  arranged  in  accordance 
with  the  recommendation  and  the  amounts  of  the  items  are  re- 
duced to  conform  to  the  expenditures  during  the  fiscal  year  just 
closed. 

The  total   amount  of  appropriation  requested  is    $751,830  00 

The  total  amount  recommended  is 618,980  00 


The  reduction  from  appropriation  requested  is.  .      $132,850  00 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


Three  deputy  commissioners  at  $3,500,  $10,500. 

This  item  appeared  in  appropriation  bill  last  year  at  the  rate 
of  $5,000  each  and  was  stricken  out  by  the  governor  on  the  ground 
of  increase.     The  item  now  is  the  same  as  in  1912. 
Four  confidential  agents,  at  $1,800  each,  $7,200. 

This  item  appeared   in  appropriation   bill   last  year   as  5  con- 
fidential agents   at  $1,800   each,  $9,000.     The  item  was  stricken 
out  by  the  governor,  as  it  showed  an  increase  of  1  agent  at  $1,800. 
The  item  is  now  same  as  in  1912. 
One  examiner  of  titles,  $2,700. 

This  is  a  new  office.     An  examiner  of  titles  is  greatly  needed 
in   this   department  to   assist  the  examiner   in   the   conservation 
bureau  of  the  attorney-general's  department,  as  the  work  in  this 
line  is  in  arrears  and  constantly  piling  up. 
One  assistant  chief  of  publication,  $1,500. 

This  is  transfer  for  1  employee  now  being  paid  from  appropria- 
tion for  additional  employees. 

These  4  additions  cover  all  changes  in  the  item  of  official  sala- 
ries as  compared  with  chapter  792,  1913. 
Same  as   1913,  except  that  1   employee  is  omitted  and  appears  in 
fish   hatchery  bureau  at  same  salary,  $1,800. 


3  Office  expenses. 

4  Rental  of  leased  offices,  etc. 

Heretofore  these  requests  have  all  been  included  under  the 
head  of  office  expenses.  For  additional  clarity,  the  commission 
has  deemed  it  proper  to  divide  this  and  make  two  items,  one  of 
which  shall  relate  to  the  rental  of  leased  offices  and  fixed  charges 
directly  connected  therewith,  that  is  to  say,  the  expenses  imposed 
upon  this  commission  by  reason  of  its  being  compelled  to  occupy 
offices  outside  the  capitol;  while  the  other  item  relates  to  such 
office  expenses  as  are  natural  and  usual  in  all  state  departments. 

The  aggregate  of  these  two  budgetary  requests  is  $40,000 ; 
$27,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  and  $13,000  in  the  supply  bill. 
Our  expenditures  were  $27,317.97  in  fiscal  year  ending  September 
30,  1913,  and  $27,113.22  in  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1912. 

Our  available  balance  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1, 
1913,  is  $14,000.  It  will  be  seen  that  with  average  expenditures 
of  over  $27,000,  our  requests,  both  for  the  appropriation  bill  and 
the  supply  bill,  are  simply  a  matter  of  arithmetic. 

The  items  of  expenditure  from  this  fund  for  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1913,  were  as  follows:

Traveling  expenses. 

We  expended  out  of  this  fund  $11,363.77  for  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1913,  and  $14,180.05  for  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1912.  Our  appropriation  was  cut  to  $9,000 
by  the  legislature  of  1913,  and  we  have  only  $9,373.94  available 
for  the  present  fiscal  year. 

What  we  ask   is  that  this  be  supplemented  by  a  $2,000  item 
in  the  supply  bill,  and  that  we  be  given  $11,000  in  the  appropria- 
tion bill  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914. 
Division  of  fish  and  game  —  official  salaries. 

Same  as  chapter  792,  1913,  except  that  1  superintendent  of 
inland  fisheries  at  $2,500  is  added.  This  office  was  created  by 
section  271  of  Conservation  Law,  which  fixed  the  salary,  and 
chapter  540,  1912,  made  provision  for  his  salary,  same  as  above. 
The  item  appeared  in  our  budget  of  last  year  but  was  omitted 
from  the  appropriation  bill.  Our  receipts  through  this  bureau 
last  vear  amounted  to  $15,014.56,  an  increase  of  about  $6,000 
over  1912. 
Salaries  —  division  of  fish  and  game  —  graded  employees. 

Same  as  in  chapter  792,  laws  1913,  except  that  2  stenographers 
were  transferred  to  the  division  from  other  bureaus  without  change 
in  compensation,  making  an  apparent  increase  of  $2,000. 
Protectors'  expenses. 

The  legal  allowance  of  chief  game  protector  is 

Deputy  chief  game  protector 

12  division  chiefs,  $750  each , 

5  fisheries  protectors,   $750   each

We  had  an  apparent  balance  September  30,  1913,  of  $4,596.39, 
but  this  balance  was  more  than  onset  by  bills  for  the  month  of 
September  aggregating  $6,724.81,  leaving  a  deficiency  of  $2,128.42. 

The  expenditures  from  this  fund  in  1912  were  $54,237.36. 

The  expenditures  from  this  fund  in  1913  were  $66,112.52. 

It  is  not  safe  to  figure  on  less  than  $70,000  for  1914. 

We  have  by  chapter  792,  laws  of  1913,  $60,000. 

We  should 'have  in  supply  bill,  1914,  $10,000  and  in  appropria- 
tion bill  for   1914,  $70,000.' 

It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  protective  force  was  largely 
increased  by  chapter  318,  laws  of  1912.  This  correspondingly 
increases  the  necessary  expense  allowance. 

Per  contra  the  receipts  of  this  commission  increased  over  $60,000 
comparing  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913,  with  that 
ending  September  30,  1912;  of  which  increase  about  $45,000  was 
in  the  division  of  fish  and  game. 

The  receipts  for   1911  were  $258,226.65. 

The  receipts  for   1912  were  $256,002.65. 

The  receipts  for  1913  were  $316,407.87. 
9     This  fund  is  chiefly  for  the  payment  of  protectors  when  assigned  to 
special  duties  outside  their  districts.     Expenditures:

10  Marine  Fisheries  Bureau.  The  appropriation  bill  for  1913  included 
salaries  of  the  supervisor  of  marine  fisheries  bureau,  $5,000,  and 
deputy  supervisor  $3,000.    As  these  items  were  increases  of  $2,000 


and  $1,000  respectively  over  1912  they  were  vetoed  by  the  Gov- 
ernor —  they  are  included  here  at  $3,000  for  supervisor  and 
$2,000  for  the  deputy  —  same  as  in  1912.  Surveyor  decreased 
from  $2,500  to  $2,000.     Net  increase,  $4,500. 

Same  as   in   1913. 

Marine  Bureau  Expenses.  The  amount  requested  is  same  as  was 
appropriated  last  year  and  $1,000  less  than  the  year  previous. 
The  figures  show  that  it  is  a  very  conservative  request.  The 
office  rent  alone  is  $2,300. 

Fish  Culturist  Salary.  Same  as  1913  —  no  change.  Fixed  by 
statute. 

Fish    Hatcheries.     Graded    employees,    eighth    grade,    1    employee, 
transferred  from  item  No.  2  at  $1,800.     No  change  in  duties  or 
compensation. 
Seventh  grade — -One  employee  transferred  from  forestry  bureau 

with   increase   from  $1,500   to  $1,600  —  (Gooding).     Net   increase, 

$100. 

Sixth  grade  —  One  additional  employee  —  foreman  of  fish 
hatchery  to  provide  for  foreman  of  new  hatchery  at  Ogdensburg 
at   salary   of   $1,080. 

Fish  hatcheries,  maintenance. 

The  state  must  determine  whether  the  propagation  of  fish  is 
to  go  on  with  progressive  effectiveness,  or  be  seriously  curtailed 
and  retrograded. 

The  output  of  the  state  hatcheries,  nine  in  number,  was  1,287,- 
255,000  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913,  as  against 
730,000,000  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1912.  On 
the  other  hand:  The  average  appropriations  for  hatchery  pur- 
poses for  the  years  from  1904  to  1909  inclusive  —  with  only 
eight  hatcheries  in  operation  —  were  $66,750.  We  now  have  nine 
hatcheries  in  operation,  and  the  St.  Lawrence  Co.  hatchery  ready 
to  operate.  We  had  a  balance  of  $1.32  in  this  fund  September 
30th,  and  have  by  chapter  792,  laws  of  1913,  $40,000.  Our  ex- 
penditures for  this  purpose  in  last  fiscal  year  were  $60,043.45 
and  we  were  left  with  bills  for  August  and  September  amounting 
to  $7,500  unpaid.  In  addition  to  the  $40,000  we  should  have  at 
least  $20,000  in  the  supply  bill  as  requested  and  an  appropriation 
of  $70,000  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914. 

We  also  ask  for  $10,000  for  necessary  hatchery  repairs  in  the 
supply  bill  —  $3,000  in  the  same  bill  for  collecting  eggs.

Conservation  Department  —  continued. 


EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


Average  appropriations,  1904  to  1909,  with  8  hatcheries  $66,750  00 
Average  appropriations,  1910  to  1913,  with  9  hatcheries  49,070  00 
Average  output  of  fish  hatched  and  distributed,  1904 

to  1909,  inclusive 281,861,687 

Average  output  of  fish  hatched  and  distributed,   1910 

to  19r3    814.108,618 

A   conservative   estimate  of   the  commercial   value  of  the  fish 
and  fish  fry  distributed  from  the  various  hatcheries  during  the 
last  fiscal  year  would  exceed  $250,000. 
16,  17     Game  bird   farm  salaries: 

No  changes  —  same  as  1913. 
No  changes  —  same  as  1913. 

18  Game  bird  farm  maintenance. 

Expenditures  from  this  fund  were: 

Fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1911,  $5,2G2.36. 
Fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1912,  $6,040.06 
Fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913,  $6,699.72. 
We  have  but  $5,314.58  available  for  the  current   fiscal   year. 
We  need,  to  eke  this  out,  $2,000  in  the  supply  bill;  and  for  the 
fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914,  a  $7,000  appropriation  bill 
item  is  required.    The  demands  upon  the  state  game  bird  farm  are 
far  and  away  in  excess  of  its  present  best  productive  possibili- 
ties.    For  example,  out  of  28,261   birds  asked  for  in   1912  only 
3,409   could  be   supplied;    and   of   126.361    eggs   applied   for,   but 
12,681. 

In  1913,  the  applications  received  were  materially  less,  prob- 
ably because  it  came  to  be  generally  understood  that  it  was  im- 
possible to  take  care  of  the  demand.  Out  of  5,632  birds  applied 
for  5,000  were  supplied,  and  out  of  26,213  eggs  applied  for  25,000 
were  furnished. 

Hunter's  License  Bureau. 

19  Graded   employees.     Seventh   grade,   one   employee    increased    from 

$1,500  to  $1^600.    The  increase  of  $100  is  intended  for  Clerk  F.  A. 
Traver,  who  has  charge  of  the  hunters'  licenses. 

20  Expenses    (A.  B.),  $1,000. 
Printing  licenses   (S.  B.),  $700. 

21  Printing  licenses  (A.  B.).  $2,400. 

22  County  clerks'  fees  (A.  B.),  $2,500. 

For  expenses  in  this  bureau  the  request  for  $1,000  (same  as 
last  year)  is  amply  sustained  by  the  figures  as  to  past  expendi- 
tures, balances,  etc. 

For  printing  hunters'  licenses  (200,000  required)  the  cost  is 
$2,200;  our  balance  is  but  $1,500.  the  appropriation  having  been  cut 
last  year.  We  ask  $700  to  fill  out  this  fund  for  the  current  fiscal 
year;  and  $2,400  in  appropriation  bill  for  the  fiscal  year  begin- 
ning October  1.  1914.  as  the  number  of  hunters'  licenses  required 
to  be  issued  (and.  consequently,  the  state  revenue  derived  there- 
from)  is  constantly  increasing. 

For  county  clerks'  fees  (see  requirements  of  §  185,  subd.  4. 
conservation  law)  in  view  of  balance  in  hand  we  are  asking  for 
but  $2,500  in  place  of  $4,000  last  year  and  $5,000  in  1912. 

Division  of  Lands  and  Forests. 
23,  24,  25 

Items  23,  24  and  25,  together  show  an  increase  of  $300  over  1913. 

This  increase  is  intended  for: 
Superintendent  of  forests,  from  $3,200  to  $3,300— increase,  $100. 
Deputy    superintendent    of    forests,    from    $2,000    to    $2.100 —  in- 
crease, $100. 
*1  employee  —  increase,  $100. 

*  Apparent  only,  by  transfer. 

These  items  have  been  arranged  as  above  in  order  to  separate 
fire  patrol  employees  from  office  force. 
26  Reforesting  lands  and  bureau  expenses.  Expenditures  from  this 
fund  were  $42,231.79  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913, 
and  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30.  1912,  $32,680.93. 
From  this  fund  is  carried  on  the  great  work  of  the  3  nurseries  and 
reforestation. 

The  expense  of  the  spring  work  in  the  nurseries  alone  during 
1913  amounted  to  $10,770.  This  included  the  operations  of  plant- 
ing seed,  transplanting  small  trees  and  packing  trees  for  shipping. 
The  capacity  of  our  nurseries  is  now  28,000.000  trees.  Over 
4,250,000  trees  have  been  shipped  from  our  nurseries  in  each  of  the 
years  1912  and  1913.  State  institutions  are  supplied  free  and 
private  owners  at  cost. 

Without  an  adequate  appropriation  for  nursery  work  many  of 
the  trees  which  are  in  the  nurseries  now  cannot  be  distributed  to 
private  individuals  and  would  thus  become  a  total  loss.  There  are 
thousands  of  acres  of  state  land  needing  reforesting.  During 
the  spring  of  1913,  on  account  of  the  limited  funds  available,  it 
was  only  possible  to  reforest  about  75  acres  of  state  land. 


Besides  the  expense  of  operating  the  nurseries  and  of  reforesting 
state  land,  there  is  also  to  come  from  this  fund  the  expense  of 
employees  of  the  division  of  lands  and  forests  in  all  investigations 
relating  to  exemption  of  timber  lands  from  taxation ;  the  gathering 
together  of  data  and  the  publication  of  pamphlets  dealing  with 
certain  phases  of  forestry  to  further  education  of  the  people  of 
the  state. 

We  ask  $45,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  and  $10,000  in  the 
supply  bill. 

27  Fire  patrol.    We  had  an  apparent  balance  in  this  fund  on  September 

30,  1913,  of  $27,327.04  and  an  appropriation  of  $25,000  became 
available  on  October  1,  1913.  But  as  a  matter  of  fact  practically 
this  entire  fund  is  exhausted  at  the  present  time  as  the  result  of 
the  heavy  expenditures  necessitated  by  the  numerous,  protracted 
and  stubborn  forest  fires  of  the  past  season.  The  total  axpenditure 
for  fire  patrol  in  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1013,  was 
$97,705.15.  This  included  practically  none  of  the  big  fire  charges 
of  August  and  September,  1913.  The  average  expense  for  labor, 
supplies,  etc.,  in  connection  with  fighting  fires  for  the  past  few 
years  has  been  about  $11,000  per  annum;  but  this  year  it  will 
amount  to  over  $45,000.  This  is  a  dispensation  of  Providence 
which  could  not  possibly  have  been  foreseen  either  by  this  depart- 
ment or  by  the  legislature  and  it  compels  us  to  make  unusually 
large  requests.  We  shall  require  $35,000  in  a  special  bill  to  take 
care  of  the  emergency  created  by  the  recent  big  fires.  We  need 
$50,000  in  the  Supply  bill  to  restore  a  working  balance  for  the 
spring  months.  We  need  $100,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  for 
the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914. 

Division  of  Inland  Waters. 

28  Official  salaries.    This  item  is  the  same  as  in  1913  with  the  excep- 

tion of  the  inspector  of  docks  and  dams,  increased  $100,  making 
his  salary  the  same  as  the  division  engineer. 

29  Graded  employees.    No  change  — same  as  in  1913. 

30  Gate  tenders.     No  change — same  as  in  1913. 

31  Hydrographic  Investigations. 

These  investigations  have  for  several  years  past  been  carried  on 
in  co-operation  with  the  United  States  Geological  Survey;  the 
records  include  data  of  work  done  by  the  United  States  Geological 
Survey  in  co-operation  with  the  state  engineer  and  surveyor.  The 
$10,000  annually  appropriated  by  the  state  of  New  York,  as  its 
share  of  the  expenses  of  this  co-operative  arrangement,  have 
yielded  returns  in  a  work  whose  scope  is  much  greater  than  could 
have  been  obtained  had  the  state  expended  that  amount .separately. 
The  records  of  rainfall,  stream  flow,  etc.,  all  of  which  are  pub- 
lished in  the  annual  reports  of  this  commission,  are  very  valuable 
to  the  state  and  to  a  large  number  of  important  interests  engaged 
in  hydraulic  and  hydro-electric  work,  and  in  prospective  schemes 
for  the  development  of  hydro-electric  energy.  It  is  necessary  for 
the  continuance  of  this  work,  that  the  usual  $10,000  appropriation 
be  made. 

32  Investigation  of  Drainage  Improvements. 

Pending  decision  of  the  court  of  appeals  in  the  so-called  Bing- 
ham case,  growing  out  of  the  Canaseraga  creek  improvement,  this 
commission  has  deferred  the  making  of  surveys  under  article  7  of 
the  conservation  law,  relative  to  drainage  improvements.  This 
decision  the  court  of  appeals  has  now  handed  down,  fully  sustain- 
ing the  authority  of  the  commission  as  to  drainage  improvements, 
so  that  this  important  work  may  now  safely  be  prosecuted.  There 
are  many  large  areas  of  swamp  land  in  this  state,  whose  value 
may  be  greatly  enhanced,  and  the  health  and  safety  of  the  adjoin- 
ing" communities  improved,  through  such  drainage  improvements 
as  are  contemplated  by  article  8.  We  have  an  available  balance  of 
some  $3,800  for  the  current  fiscal  year  and  should  have  $3,000  for 
the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914. 

33  Surveys,  Investigations,  Etc. 

No  appropriation  for  this  important  line  of  the  conservation 
commission's  activities  has  been  had  since  the  $30,000  contained 
in  chapter  811  of  the  laws  of  1911  (supply  bill).  The  legislature 
of  1912  voted  us  $35,000  and  the  legislature  of  1913  voted  ug 
$15,000,  but  both  of  these  appropriations  failed  of  executive  ap- 
proval, and  the  work  has,  in  the  meantime,  been  carried  on.  so 
far  as  was  possible,  on  the  unexpended  balance  of  the  1911 
appropriation. 

Among  the  purposes  for  which  this  fund  has  been  used  are  the 
extensive  surveys,  maps,  etc.,  incident  to  the  so-called  Linden 
scheme  for  the  town  supply  of  water  to  some  60  cities,  villages 
and  hamlets  lying  between  Rochester  and  Buffalo  and  between 
Lake  Ontario  and  the  vicinity  of  Batavia.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


The  legislature  of  1913  passed,  and  the  governor  approved, 
chapter  233  of  the  laws  of  1913,  providing  for  the  formation  of 
union  water  districts  and  the  construction  of  conservation  water 
works  for  jointly  supplying  these  several  cities,  villages,  etc., 
included  in  each  such  district.  The  governor  in  approving 
this  chapter  pronounced  it  one  of  the  most  important  pieces  ot 
legislation  upon  which  he  had  acted.  Under  chapter  233,  surveys 
have  been  made  for  a  gravity  water  works  to  supply  jointly, 
Cohoes,  Watervliet,  ftreen  Island  and  VVaterford,  and  these  4 
municipalities  have  formed  a  water  district  under  the  name,  of  the 
"  Charlton  Union  Water  District."  In  connection  therewith, 
considerable  engineering  work  has  been  done  and  its  continuance 
is  urgent,  but  the  work,  which  is  far  from  complete,  is  almost  at 
a  standstill  through  lack  of  funds  with  which  to  continue  it. 

Extensive  and  very  careful  surveys  have  been  made  of  power 
possibilities  on  the  Oswegatchie  river  and  its  branches;  and  sur- 
veys have  been  made  of  the  Saranac  river  from  Lake  Champlain 
to  Saranac  lake,  which,  however,  are  in  an  incomplete  state  for 
a  like  reason,  viz.,  lack  of  funds.  The  same  situation  exists  with 
regard  to  similar  work  on  the  upper  Hudson  river. 

The  1911  appropriation  of  $30,000,  which  estimate  was  intended 
for  1  year's  work,  has  been  eked  out  and  by  curtailment  of  the 
amount  of  work  and  rigid  economy,  has  been  spread  out  over 
nearly  3  years.  We  need  $15,000  in  the  supply  bill  for  the  present 
fiscal  year  and  $20,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  for  the  fiscal  year 
beginning  October  1,  1914. 

Investigation  of  River  Structures. 
Section  22  of  the  conservation  law  commits  to  this  commission 
jurisdiction  over  dams  and  river  structures,  with  a  view  to  pro- 
tecting the  public  against  catastrophes  such  as  the  Johnstown 
flood.  The  commission  lias  an  inspector  of  docks  and  dams,  whose 
salary  is  provided  for  in  the  general  appropriation  bill,  but  main- 
tenance expenses  in  this  line  of  work  must  be  made  by  separate 
item.  Chapter  547  of  the  laws  of  1912  gave  us  $2,500  for  this 
purpose,  but  an  item  of  like  nature  in  the  1913  supply  bill  was 
disapproved  by  the  governor.  Out  of  this  fund  must  be  paid 
assistants,  traveling  expenses,  etc.,  incident  to  the  inspection  of 
dams  and  river  structures,  and  as  the  1912  appropriation  has  been 
exhausted,  the  inspector  of  docks  and  dams  is  now  without  assist- 
ants and  the  work  is  curtailed  to  the  detriment  of  the  service.  It 
is  the  ambition  of  the  commission  to  make  every  dam  and  river 
structure  in  the  state  of  New  York  absolutely  safe  and  there  has 
already  been  a  marked  decrease  in  the  number  of  dams  which  have 
failed  or  gone  out,  and  in  consequent  damage  to  persons  and  prop- 
erty. To  prevent  the  crippling  of  the  work  we  need  an  appro- 
priation of  $2,500  in  the  supply  bill  for  the  present  fiscal  year 


and  $5,000  in  the  appropriation  bill  for  the  year  beginning  Octo- 
ber 1,  1914. 

35  Advertising  and  Printing. 

This  expenditure  is  required  principally  by  the  conservation  law 
which  directs  that  hearings  held  and  orders  made,  under  section 
152,  for  additional  protection  to  fish  or  game,  must  be  advertised 
in  1  newspaper.*  We  expended  for  this  purpose  in  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1913,  $523.33  and  have  available  a  balance 
of  $531.91. 

*  In  each  county  affected. 

36  Bureau  of  Publication  —  Expenses. 

The  need  of  a  fund  for  the  expenses  of  illustrated  lectures  and 
pamphlet  work,  to  increase  popular  enlightenment  along  conserva- 
tion lines  and  to  bring  out  the  work  that  the  state  of  New  York 
has  been  and  is  doing  in  that  direction,  speaks  for  itself.  A  much 
larger  sum  than  we  are  asking  might  be  properly  devoted  to  this 
purpose. 

37  Fines  and  Penalties. 

The  title  of  this  item  is  somewhat  misleading,  or  at  least  it  is 
not  sufficiently  inclusive  to  indicate  the  multitude  of  necessary 
expenditures  which  it  covers,  such  as  the  payment  of  moieties  to 
complainants,  justice,  constable,  attorneys,  witnesses,  court  cases, 
surveying  and  securing  evidence  for  prosecutions  for  violations  of 
the  conservation  law,  etc.  We  expended  from  this  fund,  for  the 
year  ending  September  30,  1911,  $23,987.81;  year  ending  Septem- 
ber 30,  1912,  $17,795.82;  year  ending  September  30,  1913, 
$15,232.08. 

We  estimate  that  our  available  balance,  $3,823.70  will  suffice 
for  the  current  fiscal  year,  and  are  asking  for  $15,000  in  the 
appropriation  bill  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October  1,  1914. 

38  Expenses  of  Steamboats   and  La  nches. 

We  expended  from  this  fund  in  patrolling  the  state's  waters 
for  the  protection  of  fish  and  game,  $6,953.27  in  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1911;  $2,779.27  for  the  fiscal  vear  ending 
September  30,  1912;  and  $2,550.05  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
September  30,   1913. 

We  estimate  that  our  available  balance  $3,823.70  will  suffice 
for  the  present  fiscal  year;  and  are  asking  for  $3,000  in  the 
appropriation  bill  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  October   1,   1914. 

39  Cuba  Reservoir. 

Chapter  738  of  the  laws  of  1913  turned  over  to  this  commission 
the  custody  of  this  property  and  appropriated  $1,600,  of  which 
$600  is  for  compensation  of  the  caretaker.  We  ask  $600  in  appro- 
priation bill  for  compensation  of  caretaker  and  $1,000  for  main- 
tenance.

EXPLANATORY   NOTES  BY  COMMISSION. 


1  Superintendent's  salary  ;   $2,400. 

2  Watchmen,  janitors,  and  janitors'  supplies:  $0,500,  increase,  $2,100. 

The  reason  this  increase  is  asked,  we  now  have  3  watchmen 
to  cover  the  reservation  at  night,  and  it  is  necessary  that  we 
have  2  more.  At  the  present  time  the  upper  riverway  and  Ooat 
Island  are  entirely  unprotected  at  night  between  the  hours  of 
5  p.  m.  and  8  a.  m.  There  have  been  a  number  of  suicides  at 
each  of  these  places,  each  season  for  the  last  few  years,  which 
with  proper  police  protection  might  be  entirely  eliminated. 

3  Police,  tieketmen  and  caretakers;  $11,500,  increase,  $1,000. 

The  reason  for  asking  for  this  increase,  is  that  it  is  nrnmnnrr 
that  we  have  one  more  police  constable  to  cover  Goat  Island. 
It  is  impossible  for  one  man  to  cover  the  whole  of  the  island  as 
it  should  be.  During  meal  hours  there  is  no  one  on  the  island  at 
all.  The  narrow  condition  of  the  roads  and  the  enormous  amount 
of  travel  will  require  the  services  of  2  men  alone  to  regulate 
traffic.  This  was  particularly  noticeable  this  season  as  there  were 
more  automobiles  visited  the  reservation  than  in  any  other  year  in 
its  history.  And  with  the  increase  which  will  naturally  come,  we 
should  have  this  increase  in  appropriation  in  order  to  handle 
the  crowds. 


Office  expenses;   $2,500,  increase,  $000. 

We  ari'  asking  for  this  increase  as  the  present  fund  is  entirely 
inadequate  to  cover  the  expenses  which  the  law  requires  to  be 
paid  from  that  fund.  And  wo  have  had  to  ask  for  an  emergency 
appropriation  for  approximately  $800  to  cover  a  deficiency  for 
the   fiscal   year    1012-1013,   from   the   legislature. 

Services  and  expenses:   $25,000.  increase.  $5,500. 

This  fund  is  the  most  important  of  all  the  maintenance  funds, 
it  carries  the  burden  of  laborer!  and  other  employees,  our  laborers 
cost  us  more  at  present  than  ever  before,  as  the  extra  cost  of 
living,  necessitates  their  earning  more  money.  There  are  con- 
stant improvements  going  on.  and  the  care  of  same  in  addition 
to  the  care  of  past  improvements,  requires  extra  men  who  are 
capable  and  faithful  and  worthy  of  their  hire.  Also  all  materials, 
tools,  lights,  fuel,  etc.,  are  costing  more  than  in  previous  years. 
The  upkeep  of  the  reservation  naturally  cost  more  each  year,  and 
this  fund  lias  not  been  increased  in  proportion.  We  have  had 
to  ask  for  a  deficiency  appropriation  of  $000  to  cover  a  deficiency 
for  the  fiscal  year,  "  in  this  fund  "  ending  October  1,  1913,  from 
the  legislature.     This   fund   should   be  increased  to  $25,000.

EXPLANATORY   NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


An  increase  of  $600  in  the  salary  of  the  superintendent  is  asked  for 
because  the  commissioners  believe  the  present  salary  is  insufficient 
for  an  experienced,  practical  man  who  gives  the  work  his  personal 
attention. 

An  increase  of  $90  each  in  the  compensation  of  the  2  women  attend- 
ants is  requested  for  the  reason  that  the  present  pay  is  not  com- 
mensurate with  the  duties  required  of  them. 


The  item  for  maintenance,  repairs,  etc..  is  the  same  as  was  allowed 
for  the  present  year.  It  covers  repairs  of  every  description  to 
the  grounds,  buildings,  fences,  bridges,  railings,  etc.,  office  rent 
and  supplies,  traveling  expenses  of  the  commissioners,  and  various 
improvements,  like  erecting  stairways,  extending  and  widening

EXPLANATORY    NOTES    BY    STATE    ARCHITECT. 


1  Amount  as  provided  for  in  supply  bill,  chapter  791,  laws  of  1913. 

2  Same  as  last  year. 

3  Amount  as  provided  for  in  supply  bill,  chapter  791,  laws  of  1913. 

4  Same  as  last  year. 

5  Owing  to  an  increase  of  work  in  the  office,  this  position  was  created 

and  it  is  important  that  it  be  continued, 
(i     Same  as  last  year. 

7  The  former  chief  engineer  in  this  department  resigned  and  I  found 

that  I  could  not  secure  a  man  with  the  necessary  qualifications  to 
do  this  work  at  the  former  salary.  It  is  therefore  necessary  to 
increase  the  amount  of  this  appropriation  to  the  figure  indicated. 

8  Same  as  last  year. 

9  Same  as  last  year. 

10  This  is  an  increase  of  $1,000,  which  would  equalize  the  salaries  of 

the  employees  in  this  grade,  providing  for  a  small  increase  in 
2  instances,  which  should  be  granted. 

11  This  provides  for  the  promotion  of  2  pages  to  positions  of  junior 

clerks  in  this  department. 

12  This  provides  for  1  additional  employee,  which  is  absolutely  neces- 

sary. 

13  No  change. 

14  This  is  a  new  item  which  the  large  volume  of  work  in  this  office 

has  rendered  necessary.  The  department  has  never  had  sufficient 
funds  with  which  to  carry  on  the  work,  and  the  volume  of  work 
is  so  great  that  a  very  high  order  of  technical  skill  is  required 
and  to  conserve  the  best  interests  of  the  state,  men  of  special 
training  in  architectural  and  engineering  problems,  must  be 
employed. 

15  There  are   an    insufficient   number   of   inspectors   employed   by   this 

office  to  properly  inspect  work  during  construction.  An  increase 
of  $10,000  dollars  is  asked  for  in  order  that  the  work  under  con- 
tract may  be  properly  supervised. 

16  The  department  has  never  had  sufficient  draftsmen  and  architectural 

experts  to  carry  on  the  work.  The  office,  at  this  time,  is  behind 
in  preparing  necessary  plans  and  specifications  for  advance  work 
which  the  institutions  so  urgently  need,  and  in  addition  I  have 
never  been  able  to  do  the  preliminary  work  necessary  preparatory 
to  requesting  appropriations.  It  has  also  been  necessary  each 
year  to  go  to  the  legislature  for  deficiency  appropriations. 

17  The  work  of  the  department  has  grown  to  such  an  extent  that  very 

large  quantities  of  drafting  materials  and  office  supplies  of  every 
kind  are  required.  For  the  last  few  years  it  has  been  necessary 
to  go  to  the  legislature  each  year  for  supplemental  appropriations 
for  this  purpose.  An  increase  is  asked  for  to  give  the  department 
a  reasonable  chance  to  secure  sufficient  supplies  for  carrying  on 
the  necessary  work,  also  for  additional  equipment  required  in  the 
office  and  to  replace  old  and  worn-out  equipment. 
IS  This  increase  is  necessary,  due  to  the  increased  volume  of  work  and 
additional  inspection  required  to  enable  the  state  architect  and 
his  deputies  to  visit  work  under  contract. 


19  The  amount  of  $50  is  asked  for  for  badges  as  I  think  it  wise  to 

equip  the  heads  of  the  department  and  inspectors  with  badges 
indicating  their  position  and  authority  in  the  department.  This 
is  very  similar  to  the  badges  given  to  the  special  inspectors  of  the 
automobile  bureau.  I  have  purchased  some  of  these  badges  from 
my  own  funds  and  found  the  moral  effect  great  enough  to  warrant 
my  asking  an  appropriation  to  furnish  other  employees  with 
similar  badges. 

20  Since  assuming  charge  of  this  department,  the  conclusion  has  been 

forced  upon  me  that  the  office  requires  an  automobile  for  con- 
ducting the  official  business  of  the  department.  So  many  institu- 
tions are  located  at  inaccessible  and  isolated  places  that  a  large 
amount  of  time  is  spent  on  trains,  particularly  where  infrequent 
service  is  had.  In  addition  it  has  been  necessary  to  make  requi- 
sitions for  the  use  of  automobiles  of  other  departments  to  enable 
the  state  architect  to  reach  different  sections  of  the  state  par- 
ticularly in  the  location  of  new  sites.  As  I  have  had  to  make 
my  time  for  these  visits  conform  to  the  time  of  the  people 
loaning  the  machine,  I  have  been  greatly  handicapped  in  perform- 
ing this  part  of  my  work.  This  item  could  be  regarded  as  an 
investment  of  the  state  architect's  time  and  would  permit  me 
more  latitude  in  making  visits  to  different  institutions  by  not 
being  dependent  upon  public  transportation  facilities. 

21  I   find   that  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  have  a  New  York  office. 

Much  of  my  time  is  spent  in  New  York  city  upon  official  business, 
where  I  have  to  use  my  private  office  and  private  clerks  for  the 
use  of  the  state.  I  am  in  New  York  2  or  3  days  a  week  on 
official  business  and  feel  that  there  should  be  a  separate  office 
maintained  where  this  department  could  be  properly  represented, 
with  office  equipment  and  employees. 

22  This  amount  is  asked  for  a  contingent  fund  to  enable  me  to  employ, 

when  necessary,  such  experts  in  engineering  and  architecture  for 
advice  and  co-operation.  Many  of  the  problems  are  complex  and 
should  not  be  decided  by  one  man  alone.  In  my  private  work  I 
continually  use  such  experts  and  they  are  a  fixed  charge  in  my 
office  expenses.  In  addition,  it  has  never  been  possible  to  predict 
the  amount  of  work  which  would  come  to  this  department  through 
the  appropriations  made  by  the  legislature  and  sufficient  funds 
should  be  allowed  in  this  account  so  that  extra  work  can  be  taken 
care  of.  All  building  operations  should  be  done  by  the  state 
architect,  but  in  a  number  of  cases  work  has  been  done  by  outside 
architects  whose  fees  amount  to  a  very  considerable  sum  of  money 
—  much  more  in  fact  than  the  total  amount  asked  for  in  this 
contingent  fund.  With  proper  funds  to  reorganize  this  depart- 
ment to  properly  take  care  of  the  work  of  the  state,  there  is  no 
question  but  that  savings  could  be  made  all  along  the  line  as  by 
properly  handling  the  work  there  will  be  no  waste.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  BOARD. 


The  appropriation  of  1913  (chap.  713)  was  for  $10,000  but 
a  larger  appropriation  should  be  made  for  the  year  1914  so 
that  additional  assistance  can  be  called  in  if  necessary  in  order 
to  complete  the  work  within  the  time  provided  for  by  the 
statute. 

If  a.  sufficient  appropriation  iB  made  it  is  believed  that  the 
work  of  simplification  can  be  completed  as  directed  by  the  legis- 
lature  and  within  the  time  required. 

The   surrogates'   court   practice   bill   be   made   a   separate   act. 


It  contains  many  references  to  the  present  code  of  civil  pro- 
cedure. It  will  be  necessary  to  have  these  references  supplied 
and  the  whole  procedure  in  surrogates'  courts  rounded  out.  It 
may  be  deemed  advisable  to  submit  this  work  to  some  one 
especially  skilled  in  that  practice  and  ample  funds  should  be 
provided  therefor  if  this  course  is  deemed  advisable,  to  hasten 
the   completion   of   the   work. 

What   has   been   said  with   reference  to   the   surrogates'   court 
practice  applies  with  equal  force  to  the  justices'  court  practice.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


No  increases  in  salaries  are  asked  excepting  in  items  2  and  3,  for 
the  deputy  superintendent  and  the  assistant  to  the  deputy,  and  in 
the  case  of  three  of  the  clerical  force,  where  an  increase  of  $100 
per  year  each  is  provided.  The  increased  allowances  for  items 
2  and  3  are  asked  in  view  of  the  increased  responsibilities  and 
additional  duties  placed  upon  the  two  officials,  not  only  on  account 
of  the  natural  increase  of  the  department's  business  but  also  the 
gradual  completion  of  the  new  barge  canal  sections,  bringing 
with  them  new  conditions  and  problems. 

This  item  provides  for  3  employees,  to  care  for  one  of  the  $100 
increases  referred  to  above,  the  employee  thereby  being  promoted 
from  the  7th  grade  to  the  8th  grade.  No  provision  therefore  is 
made  for  this  employee  in  item  10,  7th  grade,  the  number  of 
employees  being  reduced  from  6  to  5. 

Item  11,  6th  grade.  This  shows  an  increase  of  $100  for  1  employee. 
It  will  be  noted  that  with  the  slight  increases  asked  for  salary 
allowances,  the  department's  requisition  for  salary  appropriations 
shows  a  reduction  from  that  allowed  in  the  current  appropria- 
tions act  of  $1,283. 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  amount  asked  for  collectors  and  compilers 
of  statistics  (item  19)  namely,  $5,530,  is  a  reduction  from  the 
amount  allowed  for  the  same  item  in  the  current  appropriations 
act  of  $1,425. 


20  It  will  also  be  noted  that  the  amount  asked  in  item  20,  namely, 

$3,640  is  a  reduction  from  the  amount  allowed  in  the  present 
appropriations  act  for  the  same  purpose,  of  $1,658,  or  a  total 
gross  decrease  from  last  year's  requisition  of  $3,083. 

This  has  been  accomplished  by  a  reorganization  of  the  bureau 
for  the  collection  of  canal  statistics,  and  at  the  same  time  the 
amount  of  service  has  been  lengthened  to  a  seven  months  naviga- 
tion season  so  as  to  meet  conditions  which  it  is  expected  will 
exist  during  the  summer  of  1915. 

21  For  locktending  and  ordinary  repairs  of  the  canals,  $900,000.     This 

is  the  amount  allowed  in  the  current  appropriations  act.  It  is 
expected  that  practically  the  entire  Barge  Canal  system  will  be  in 
operation  by  the  season  of  1915,  provision  for  which  must  be  made 
in  this  requisition.  The  operation  and  maintenance  of  the  new 
and  enlarged  canal  must  of  necessity  be  greater  than  that  required 
to  maintain  and  operate  the  present  canal,  which  is  but  one-half 
its  size.  It  is,  of  course,  impossible  at  this  time  to  make  accu- 
rate estimate  of  the  amount  which  will  be  required,  but  in  viev 
of  the  experience  had  during  the  past  season  in  dealing  with 
conditions  on  many  miles  of  completed  waterway,  I  am.  con- 
vinced that  at  least  the  sum  asked  must  be  allowed  for  this 
purpose. 

The  remaining  items  are  fixed  charges,  and  are  of  the  same 
amounts  that  have  been  annually  appropriated  by  the  legislature.

ployed on  the  ordinary  repairs  of  the  canals  is  the  same  as  that 
which  has  been  appropriated  for  several  years  past.  These

ployed on  this  work  varies  from  time  to  time,  being  dependent 
upon  the  demands  for  plans  and  inspections  of  the  present  canal 
system.  The  entire  appropriation  of  $30,000  made  in  1912  was 
used  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1913,  and  the

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 


5  The  increase  shown  in  item  No.  5  from  $1,600  to  $1,800  is  to  pro- 

vide for  a  reasonable  increase  in  this  salary  in  1914,  the  position 
being  a  responsible  one  and  the   increase  moderate. 

6  The  increase  shown  in  item  No.  6  of  $500  is  a  correction  in  the 

appropriation  for  11)13,  which  was  shown  as  $2,000,  in  the  appro- 
priation bill  in  error.  This  position  since  its  creation  lias  paid 
$2,500  and,  therefore,  the  increase  shown  in  the  proposed  appro- 
priation bill  for  1914  is  not  an  increase  in  the  salary. 
9  Item  shown  as  item  9  —  one  eighth  grade  employee  —  is  to  take 
care  of  a  reasonable  advance  in  a  seventh  grade  employee,  which 
advance  has  already  been  made  in  that  position. 
12  Item  No.  12,  increase  from  four  to  six  employees,  is  made  neces- 
sary on  account  of  the  advancement  of  lower  grade  employees  to 
this  grade,  as  will  be  shown  by  the  reduction  in  item  No.  14, 
one  employee.  You  will  note  that  the  number  of  employees 
shown  in  the  grades  mentioned  between  items  Nos.  9  and  15,  in- 
clusive, has  not  been  increased. 

17  Item  No.  17  has  been  increased  $1,800  on  account  of  the  addition 

by  the  highway  law  of  three  new  division  offices. 

18  Item  No.  18  has  been  increased  $1,000  on  account  of  the  highway 

law  increasing  the  number  of  division  engineers  to  nine  whose 
expenses  are  chargeable  to  this  appropriation. 

19  Item  No.  19  is  increased  $10,000,  and  is  deemed  to  be  necessary  on 

account  of  the  highway  law  increasing  the  number  of  division 
offices  from  six  to  nine  and  the  necessary  equipment  for  same, 
and  for  the  further  reason  that  the  appropriation  for  this  item 
shown  in  chapter  546  of  the  laws  of  1912,  covering  the  fiscal  year 


ending  September  30,  1913,  was  insufficient  for  the  purpose  as 
is  shown  by  an  analysis  of  the  expenditure  of  that  appropriation. 

20  Item  No.  20  shows  an  increase  of  $1,000  as  the  corresponding  item 

in  the  present  appropriation  bill  has  been  shown  to  be  insufficient 
to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  department  for  this  purpose.  It 
is  largely  used  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  stenographic  services 
while  the  regular  stenographers  in  the  department  are  on  vaca- 
tions, and  is  necessary. 

21  Item  No.  21  is  included  in  this  bill  in  order  to  meet  the  require- 

ments of  chapter  481  of  the  laws  of  1912,  the  comptroller  claim- 
ing that  a  special  appropriation  must  be  made  to  this  department 
if  employees  are  to  be  reimbursed  as  provided  in  the  above 
chapter. 

BUREAU  OF  AUDIT  AND  FINANCE. 

25  Item  No.  25  has  been  increased  from  2  to  4  employees  to  provide 
for  a  reasonable  advance  in  employees  in  this  bureau  in  the 
lower  grades;  as  you  will  note  item  No.  26  is  reduced  from  2  to 
1   employee. 

27  Item  No.  27  is  increased  from  2  to  3  employees  to  provide  for  1 
additional  employee  in  this  bureau  which  is  made  necessary  by 
the  increase  in  maintenance  expenditures  and  the  increase  in  the 
number  of  division  offices  as  provided  by  the  highway  law.  As 
the  highway  work  progresses  the  work  in  this  bureau  increases 
in  proportion,  and  it  is  necessary  that  the  number  of  employees 
should  be  increased  from  time  to  time  in  order  to  keep  up  the 
work.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  BY  DEPARTMENT. 
BUREAU   OF   MAINTENANCE   AND   REPAIR. 


30  Item  No.  30  shows  an  increase  of  $50.  occasioned  by  an  error  in  the 

appropriation  shown  in  chapter  792  of  the  laws  of  1913,  which 
should  have  shown  $2,750  salary  for  this  position,  as  it  has  paid 
that  amount  since  its  creation  and  is  not  an  increase  in  salary 
but  is  for  the  purpose  of  correcting  the  error. 

31  Item  No.  31  is  a  change  from  10th  grade  as  shown  in  chapter  792 

of  the  laws  of  1913,  to  a  designation  as  confidential  secretary  to 
the  second  deputy  as  provided  by  the  civil  service,  and  the 
salary  increased  from  $2,400  to  $2,500. 

You  will  please  note  that  1  9th  grade  employee,  $2,100;  20 
7th  grade  employees,  $30,000;  and  1  1st  grade  "employee,  $360, 
have  been  eliminated.  Also  that  item  No.  36  has  been  reduced 
from  $10,000  to  $2,000,  and  that  the  item  appearing  in  chapter 
792  of  the  laws  of  1913  for  traveling  expenses  of  20  highway 
inspectors,  $20,000,  has  been  eliminated  entirely,  it  being  the 
intention  of  the  commission  to  pay  the  salaries  and  expenses 
formerly  provided  for  by  these  items  from  the  maintenance  and 
repair    funds    and    not    from    the    highway    improvement    fund, 


believing  that  it  is  improper  that  the  highway  improvement  fund 
should  be  charged  with  the  salary  and  expenses  of  employees  who 
are  unquestionably  performing  maintenance  and  repair  work. 
37  Item  No.  37  has  been  increased  from  $3,000  to  $5,000  for  the  reason 
that  the  appropriation  of  $3,000  has  been  found  to  be  insuffi- 
cient for  the  purposes  intended,  on  account  of  the  very  large 
increase  in  the  maintenance  work  in  the  last  2  years. 

BUREAU  OF  TOWN  HIGHWAYS. 

45  Item  No.  45  has  been  increased  from  $2,000  to  $3,000  as  the  forme* 
appropriation  has  been  shown  to  be  insufficient  for  the  purposes 
of  the  appropriation. 


You  will  please  note  that  the  total  amount  of  the  appropria- 
tion asked  for  by  this  department  for  1914  is  $279,332,  as  com- 
pared with  the  amount  shown  in  chapter  792  of  the  laws  of  1913 
amounting  to  $332,732,  and  chapter  546  of  the  laws  of  1912 
amounting  to  $310,922,  a  very  material  reduction.
